Partners in Process Support Groups provide a safe place of healing for women who have been affected by their husband’s or partner’s sexual brokenness. These support groups give women the opportunity to walk through the Twelve Step process in Christian community.

A key truth our mentor-led groups instill in every woman is that she DID NOT CAUSE her partner’s behavior. Mentors are women who have walked through the full Twelve Steps through being active members of a Partners in Process support group and individually with a Sponsor. They know first hand the pain and agony of sexual betrayal. They are compassionate, Jesus-loving women, who are dedicated to coming alongside other women facing the same struggles.

Twelve Step fellowships are completely anonymous groups where you attend a weekly group and work on your pain and your struggles. The focus is on you not your spouse/partner. These groups are very effective when the Twelve Traditions are followed strictly and the members are actively working the steps in the group and in their daily life. Group members are learning the Scriptural foundations of each step, becoming educated about each step and how it applies to being a woman who struggles with codependency in their relationship with their husband/partner who simultaneously is struggling with their sexual brokenness. Each group meeting also includes time for each woman to share about her current struggles, how she is working through a step, and the transformative healing work God is doing in her body, mind, and heart.

“The group has been so encouraging, and I’ve found confidence and hope for my future. All the women are so wonderful there and it’s been so wonderful to be able to be around others who can relate to what I’ve been through and am going through.” Tina

Additionally, group members have the opportunity to work through the steps with a peer Mentor. These individual meetings give a woman the opportunity to unpack her pain and brokenness with reliable support from a Jesus-loving woman who understands this journey.

The Twelve Steps bring a woman back to her foundation of who she believes God is. As we seek God for the answer to our problems, with the help of our Group and Mentor, we can see our issues through new lenses. We have support within the context of an understanding community for the times when we hit a bump, whether big or small, in our life that trips us up and triggers our pain.

Our goal with each Partners in Process support group is to help women find their voice, gain strength and perspective, and find a renewed sense of hope and a path forward by building supportive friendships with women who are walking through similar struggles.

Partners in Process offers both online groups and geographically-based groups. Our Partners in Process peer-Mentors have walked through this process and are available to help you find your source of healing through God’s unlimited love for you. To get a glimpse of what you’ll experience through attending a Partner’s in Process group, listen to our podcast of Karen and Heather’s story.

“Thanks to my Partners in Process 12 Step Group, I have a renewed relationship with God. I often call the 12 steps Basic Christianity 101. I feel the process of going through the steps has put some of the principles I have heard my whole life in church into plain English with practical applications.” ~ Faye
