Cheating is a dealbreaker for the majority of women out there but it’s not for Charity Craig as she has revealed how cheating saved their marriage and brought them closer than ever.
According to Charity, her husband Matt left home to pursue another relationship with his mistress but then she never gave up on the marriage as they decided to give their marriage another chance and it worked.

“At the time, my husband’s affair felt like the end of the world, but it turned out to be the best thing for us as we’ve come back so much stronger,” Charity, a jewelry company founder, told SWNS this week.
The pair got together in their teens and married in their early 20s.
But in 2012, with four kids under the age of 6, they had reached rock bottom.
Charity had grown suspicious of her husband’s behavior by July 2012, especially as he stayed late into the evening working as a music pastor.
“I was working over 60 hours a week in a high-stress position. I spent more time at work than with my family,” explained Matt, who is now a chief marketing officer. “I was struggling between my family and my dreams of pursuing a musical career.”
Charity’s fears were confirmed when she discovered damning text messages from another woman.
“I confronted him, and he broke down and told me everything,” Charity shared.
After the affair came to light, the pair began to plan their divorce.
“I thought I knew my husband better than anyone else, but he’d been living a double life and I had no idea,” Charity lamented. “My whole world was turned upside down, and I didn’t know how I’d ever recover.”
Matt moved on with his mistress, while Charity went to a counselor.
She learned that Matt’s affair wasn’t the only reason for their marital problems.
“I started therapy, and I realized that I was no longer the woman he’d married, and he wasn’t solely to blame for the breakdown of our relationship,” Charity recalled.
“I spent eight months working on myself — building up my self-confidence and learning how to deal with my problems in a healthy way,” she continued.
But Charity and Matt eventually decided to give their relationship another go after therapy, and now the Orlando couple are crowing that they are ”thriving.”
Matt and Charity saved their marriage after he cheated on her with another woman. Any woman would have opted for divorce but she stood her ground and decided to give it a second chance and now they are closer than ever.
