Sharon Faqua, wife of actor Shawn Faqua, has revealed that her marriage to the actor helped her overcome emotional baggage from her previous marriage.
Sharon shared the experience during a recent appearance on a podcast hosted by Olive Emodi, where she said she felt encouraged to speak about how her current marriage transformed her healing journey.
The actress’ wife said she entered her relationship with Shawn carrying unresolved pain from her past, but found healing through their union.
“This morning, I was praying, and I heard the Holy Spirit say, ‘Talk about how your marriage healed you.’ And I mean this marriage,” she said.
“I want to say clearly that my marriage to Shawn healed me because when I met Shawn, I still had a lot of baggage from my previous marriage.”
Sharon Speaks On Compatibility, Spiritual Connection In Marriage
Sharon explained that she had previously avoided speaking publicly about her first marriage because she did not want her former husband to feel wrongly portrayed.
She said the end of a relationship does not always mean that either person was bad, stressing that two good individuals can still be incompatible as partners.
“I also somehow do not like talking about it so that my ex-husband doesn’t think, ‘Hey, so I was such a horrible person,” she said.
“When you are just right for someone… two people can be good people but are not meant for each other,” she added.
Sharon also highlighted the importance of shared spiritual values in building a lasting marriage, saying differences in spiritual foundations can affect a relationship.
“Apart from that, when your altars are not rhyming, it just doesn’t work,” she said.
