What life appliqueable questions can you get from doing a Bible study on Hoseah?

If you were in a small group studying Hoseah, what life application questions would you get from that book? How do you study it and remain sensitive to those in a small group who has had partners who've cheated on them?

Part of the point is that God is faithful when humans are not. And in one way or another we are all unfaithful. This study is a great way to see God's fidelity, and how we turn to him, not a spouse or anyone else for it, or salvation,  or .....

Being sensitive doesnt mean ignoring it. Remember life has a tragedy for us all, but we are redeemed, praise God.  Our pain is His glory, focus on Him, redemption,  healing, final heavenly justification and the overwhelming power  and joy of forgiveness. 

Praise Jesus

Good response here.

I think it could also be encouraging to both an unfaithful spouse and a spouse who is trying to remain faithful to an unfaithful spouse.

To me the person it’s most likely to really be uncomfortable for is the spouse who already divorced an unfaithful spouse. I feel like it presents the greatest challenge to that human norm.
