Pat Robertson cheating advice VIDEO: tells struggling wife to "fall in love" with cheating husband again

Pat Robertson recently gave advice to a woman who asked for help in forgiving her cheating husband.

Robertson spoke on "The 700 Club" on Wednesday, when a viewer named Ivy spoke about her issues in forgiving her husband who cheated on her years ago. She said: "I've been trying to forgive my husband for cheating on me. We have gone to counseling, but I just can't seem to forgive, nor can I trust. How do you let go of the anger? How do you trust again? God says to forgive, but it's been so hard to do. I want to forgive, so we can get on with our lives."

Robertson advised the woman to stop talking about the cheating but focus on her husband's good points.

"Here's the secret; stop talking about the cheating," he said. "He cheated on you. Well, he's a man. OK. So what you do, is you begin to focus on why you married him in the first place, on what he does good. Does he provide a home for you to live in? Does he provide food for you to eat? Does he provide clothes for you to wear? Is he nice to the children? Do you have a happy family? Does he take your kids to sporting events? Does he go out and watch their Little League games? Does he share with you stuff that's going on? And is he handsome? Ya know, what is he?"

He advised her to start falling in love with her husband again, saying she should touch his face and hold his hand and talk to him. "Start focusing on those things and essentially fall in love with him all over again."

He continued: "But you praying 'Oh God, keep me from hating him for what he did when he was with that stripper in that hotel room 10 years ago and I'll never forgive him' kind of thing, 'Please help me'….So what are you focusing on? You're focusing on the thing that makes you mad. Stop that! Start focusing on the good stuff."

Robertson also told Ivy that "men have a tendency to wander" and so is the wife's job to focus on the positive things to make the home enticing. "Recognize also, like it or not, males have a tendency to wander a little bit," Robertson said. "What you want to do is make a home so wonderful that he doesn't want to wander."
