I recently confessed to husband that I had an affair with a coworker. I know that my husband is angry and hurt which is understandable. But he is open to a possible reconciliation. I have cut off ALL communication with the other party and will never speak with him again out of respect for my husband. The other party spouse will be notified as well but I'm also praying for her and their marriage to get over this terrible time. My husband says that he is willing to give us another try with some demands which I am going to do to save us. I have witnessed marriages go through troubled times because of cheating but after tons of prayer it became stronger....this is what I need! I am praying for true repentance, quick healing for my husband and reconciliation of our marriage. PLEASE HELP ME as I will be in prayer mode as well! Thank You and any good non judgemental advice is welcome if you ever have been in a situation like this.

Your marriage can heal from this. I do strongly suggest counseling now or in some time when your husband is ready for it. I also don't think the healing process will be quick. Even if you are both committed to it, which it sounds like you might be, healing will most likely take 1 or more years till things feel normal or close to it.

Do get close to your faith. Remember that for him, it's probably very hard to trust you or see things of faith as genuine.

Your relationship will be stressed. Make sure the little things don't tear you apart. Find counseling and discuss things there if you cannot communicate or things are spiraling downward.

It does not appear so I'll quote it.
