Today is Part 2 with our Special Guests - Katie & Michael Bommarito
They will be sharing the second part of their story of brokenness to breakthrough.
Katie and Michael Bommarito met and married in seminary with dreams of pastoring a church together and spending time on the mission field. But after more than a decade of serving in full time ministry, those dreams shattered with the public discovery of Michael’s pornography use. Having secretly struggled with a porn and sex addiction for 25 years, the revelation came as a shock to everyone around him. A long series of counselors and accountability groups followed, but Michael continued lying to himself and others about the depths of his growing addiction. For 18 years they lived trapped in a cycle of lying, getting caught, and promising this time it would be different. But finally, God broke through, and Michael was able to admit the depths of his addiction. Surrounded by a network of support, Katie and Michael faced the pain of his betrayal, worked hard at restoration, and found hope and love beyond it all.
 
Today they have been married for almost 34 years. They have two grown sons, a beautiful daughter-in-law, and are expecting their first grandchild soon.
Listen in to this amazing testimony of God's redemption and healing in the midst of sexual addiction and betrayal.

🚨TRIGGER WARNING🚨
Today's episode tackles a tough but necessary question that many Christian couples struggle with:
Is watching pornography or engaging in masturbation outside of intimacy with my spouse really considered cheating?
The world says no—it’s harmless, normal, and even beneficial.
But as Christians, we don’t define marriage through the world’s lens—we define it through God’s.
What is the standard for Christian Women and Men and What does God say about it?
We’ll explore why most Christian denominations consider these actions a serious sin against marital fidelity, break down the impact they have on a marriage, and give you steps to find healing.
We will also reveal the truth behind the industry and how it is designed to harm you, your marriage and your family.
And if this is something you or your spouse struggle with, don’t miss the end of the episode, where I’ll share how you can get the support you need inside my Marriage Redesigned program. Let’s dive in!"*

Why Do Women Self-Sabotage After Betrayal?
After betrayal, the emotional pain can feel overwhelming. The enemy wants to keep you stuck in a cycle of fear, doubt, and self-destruction. Self-sabotage is often a subconscious way to protect yourself from further pain, but in reality, it keeps you from experiencing the full healing and restoration that God desires for you. But there is a better way. You can stop the self-sabotage and move forward into true healing.

One of the most painful aspects of choosing to reconcile after marital betrayal is facing the disapproval of family members who don’t agree with your decision. They may believe they are protecting you, or they may struggle to trust your spouse again after seeing your pain. Sometimes, this disapproval can lead to being shut out, leaving you feeling isolated and torn between your marriage and your family.
If you are in this situation, know that you are not alone. Many women who choose the path of reconciliation face resistance from loved ones. While you cannot control their reactions, you can take intentional steps to rebuild communication and foster understanding.
In today's show, I am sharing 3 strategies to help open the door to reconnecting with your family.
