In this week's video, Juli shares three considerations when prayerfully deciding whether to share about past affairs with adult children.
"I had affairs early in our marriage which my husband knows about from my confession and repentance years ago. We've needed to revisit and work through this which has been wonderful; however, our kids who are adult and are married know nothin...
