Duck Dynasty<\/em> became a reality TV sensation primarily because it appealed to a conservative, Christian audience who prided themselves on their old-school values.<\/p>\n

So some of the Duck diehards might not be too crazy about Al Robertson\u2019s latest message \u2014 namely, that if your wife has an affair, you should forgive her.<\/p>\n

Yes, Al \u2014 who is the eldest son of late Duck Dynasty<\/em> patriarch Phil Robertson<\/a> \u2014 is getting candid about his marriage to wife Lisa Robertson, as well as her infidelity. <\/p>\n

The couple is revisiting their difficult past in a new Lifetime movie, Faith & Forgiveness<\/em>, which explores how Lisa became involved in an extramarital relationship roughly 15 years into their marriage \u2014 and how the pair ultimately found a way forward through religion.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Fox News, Al explained why he believes betrayal does not automatically have to mean divorce.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen unfaithfulness happens in a marriage, so many times, that\u2019s the end of it, but it doesn\u2019t have to be,\u201d Robertson said. \u201cEverything can be worked through.\u201d<\/p>\n

That perspective, he admitted, came in part from recognizing his own shortcomings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the reason I was willing to fight for my marriage was that I had made a lot of mistakes on my own,\u201d he shared. <\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWhen I first met Lisa, she was actually a good girl, who had experienced some hard things in her life up until that point, but really was looking for what she called her \u2018knight in shining armor,\u2019 someone to take her hand and lead her out of some things. And I just wasn\u2019t that guy in the early years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple\u2019s story stretches back decades.<\/p>\n

As they explained to Fox News, Al and Lisa first met as teenagers in a McDonald\u2019s parking lot in West Monroe, Louisiana, eventually marrying in 1984 after an on-and-off relationship. <\/p>\n

After welcoming two daughters, Al served as a pastor while Lisa reportedly struggled with loneliness and isolation during stretches when he was away.<\/p>\n

Now, rather than hiding from that painful chapter, the couple is choosing to share it publicly in hopes of helping others facing similar struggles.<\/p>\n

And while not every relationship survives betrayal, Al says he hopes their story serves as proof that some marriages can recover.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see how receptive his audience is to this new level of candor.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
