69 | Telling Your Spouse About Your Abortion: 3 Biblical Truths and Practical Advice

Many women who have had one or more abortions carry this secret alone—even within their marriages. If you’re living with this hidden truth, you know how heavy it can feel. Maybe you don’t have to imagine it, because it’s your reality. And chances are, it’s affecting your marriage.

Keeping secrets in a marriage rarely leads to peace or intimacy, and today we’re going to talk openly about why sharing this part of your story with your spouse is so important.

No matter how long ago your abortion happened, if you’re not in a dangerous or unsafe situation, confiding in your spouse can be a crucial step toward healing and closeness.

This conversation may feel difficult, but I pray this episode equips and encourages you to take that step with the person you are meant to be closest to.

Grab your earbuds and get ready.
