Bestselling author and Proverbs 31 Ministries Founder Lysa TerKeurst has announced that she has remarried two years after divorcing her husband, Art TerKeurst, after 29 years of marriage.
“I want to invite you to share a new chapter in my life,” said TerKeurst with a caption in an Instagram post on Thursday.
According The Christian Postthe post included several photos from her wedding to her new husband, Chaz.
“In January 2023, I met Chaz. And as the pages kept turning last year, we knew what we found in each other was love. A beautiful love that takes work as love always does. But a fellowship that is safe, honest, fun, funny and committed to the holy way God tells us to love and care for one another.”
“We got engaged last fall, which I decided to keep private so I could tell as many people as possible face to face. I have to tell many of you when we saw each other in stores and airports and coffee shops and dinners and FaceTimes. These were sweet conversations that I consider valuable.”

“And then last week, surrounded by our family and some beautiful mountains, Chaz and I exchanged our vows. As soon as we were announced husband and wife, some fun music started playing. I invited our children and grandchildren to join in as we all danced in the gently falling snow.”
In January 2022, Terkeurst announced that she had filed for divorce from Art in 2021 due to infidelity. While she initially wanted to divorce her husband in 2017 due to infidelity and addiction, the couple renewed their vows a year later after repairing their marriage.
However, he filed for divorce a second time after Art broke the renewed vows. Subsequent court filing were found that Art spent more than $118,000 on an extramarital affair with a woman he met on SugarDaddy.com.
“For the past several years, I have fought very hard not just to save my marriage, but to survive the devastation of what one spouse’s constant cheating does to the other,” she wrote at the time. “It’s brutal and heartbreaking to constantly fear the hurtful choices of someone you love. I had to learn the hard way that there is a big difference between mistakes (which we all make) and chosen patterns of behavior that dishonor God and the biblical covenant of marriage.”
With Art, the couple have five grown children together.

In her recent post, TerKeurst showed God’s faithfulness in the midst of her times of hardship.
“God is kind. God is faithful. When life begs me to believe otherwise, I remind myself that God is not done yet. There is more to be revealed. We’ll see,” he wrote.
“And even though sometimes I still feel pain about some really difficult things in the past, I’m so grateful that I wasn’t stuck trying to make things happen my way and on my time. In my stubbornness, I thought I knew what was best. It was God’s grace all those times he said ‘no’ to me,” TerKeurst continued.
“God helped me learn to lean on Him in the midst of my greatest disappointments and how to sit alone and be okay. He helped me fight battles that are still going on, not with a big miracle intervention, but with daily provisions and assurances.”
TerKeurst, who leads Proverbs 31 Ministries, has written many New York Times bestselling books, incl It shouldn’t be like this and Forgiving what you can’t forget.
