Dear scv,
You say you still love your husband, but you are concerned about whether you will be able to trust him again. You say he is now remorseful and willing to receive counseling.
Based on these things, I certainly would encourage you to work on your relationship together, with the help of counseling. I fully believe that if both partners are sincere, love each other, work hard on their relationship together, and receive counseling, that they may well be able eventually [and with the help of God's grace] to have the strong marriage they would like.
I would encourage you both to go for it. You've got everything to gain if it works. Also, you won't be in the position, in the future, of looking back on your failed marriage and wondering if it might have worked, if you had given it this chance. Such regrets can also be hard to live with.
I will keep both you and your husband in my prayers.
