I know an elderly couple from our Church. Theirs was love marriage. They have 2 daughters - both working and one got married. That uncle started to have relationship with another lady (with 3 kids) in the same Church - it started by telephonic conversations and then they had physical contacts as well often. This illegal relationship was known to few ladies in the Church and was communicated to his wife indirectly. But that aunty trusted him so much that she scolded the ladies who told her about him to her.
Later, she started finding something wrong with her husband - like hiding his cell phone, taking his phone everywhere even to bathroom. If asked, he would give some silly reasons. Then she started having much doubt on him. So she used to fight with him. He gets irritated on being questioned. One day, he left home and stayed somewhere (in another house) in the same area. She used to call him but he never picked up. He even set up something to have the call forwarded whenever she calls. It was like this.
Then her elder daughter suggested about going to a private detective agency to check on him. Initially that aunty accepted but they prayed well and later she was afraid going to them as that might result in some other trouble as these are ladies. She said to her daughter that they would pray and the LORD would help them. She didn't communicate this to anyone - even to his relatives. That aunty and her daughter started praying earnestly for this - to help him come out of whatever bondage he was in (they didn't know by then, whom he had relationship with). They fasted and prayed. They waited for 3 months. He came back after 1 month of going out but still the couple didn't speak to each other.
That aunty trusted in the LORD and kept praying with tears everyday. The LORD honored their faith especially that Aunty's faith.
That uncle was much troubled by that lady whom he had relationship with and finally he started to hide himself from that lady, ignoring her phone calls, etc. Then that lady got this Aunty's number and started calling her saying that she wanted to talk to this aunty. This aunty didn't talk to her (by this time, she got to know the relationship with this lady) and avoided her.. that lady kept threatening this uncle that she would spoil his name in the Church, family, etc by telling about his illegal relationship.
Finally, that uncle explained that aunty about what all happened. That aunty was so loving and forgiving that she accepted him. Then she picked up that lady's call and scolded her that she knew all about their relationship and also to better avoid calling them. She also told her that she would even convey this to her husband.
Then she stopped calling them. Even when called, they stopped picking up. They moved to a different place now and are living together. Now that uncle has started praying fervently confessing his sins..
That elder daughter is close to me and shared this with me earlier. She accepted to have it shared here anonymously.
Our GOD is so awesome and when we put our trust in HIM, HE does mighty things.
