Perhaps no one endures the ripple of sexual abuse more than
the spouses of those who were abused. The two were called to become one. Not
two.
One.
And in this joining of two, all things are shared. Not just
the future. But the past.
Marriage, the joining of two souls, is difficult enough. Add
sexual abuse history to the mix, and you've got another mountain to climb.
Together.
But here’s the hope, mountains can be climbed.

In January, Tamar’s
Redemption Tuesdays will feature couples who are facing the mountain and
choosing to climb. We’ll ask them honest
questions and look forward to their vulnerable answers. They’re not climbing
experts. They are learning along the way, working together, picking each other
up as they stumble, and dusting each other off, taking needed rest and shelter
along the way.
They aren't perfect. They’re in process. They can’t offer
you healing, just their honest thoughts, and a promise.
You’re not alone.
Please, come join us in the climb.
