After the affair

Can your relationship survive an affair? Infidelity now affects 8 out of 10 marriages.

The statistics do little to lessen the pain of betrayal. Are you asking yourself why? What happens between marriage vows being spoken and the act of infidelity? Most people who marry don’t intend to cheat, it is more commonly due to the opinions and expectations society generates around marriage. Sometimes the pressure becomes too much. An affair shocks us into reality but invites us to try again. Once we have survived the destructiveness and deceit a new opportunity is born – the opportunity to discover true clarity and connection with our life partner. The major difference between relationships that work and fail is how well couples accept and deal with the challenges confronting them. Forgiving your partner and yourself, becoming sexually intimate again, and moving forward takes courage and commitment. In time you may come to see “the affair” as the alarm or wakeup call your relationship needed. Let us help you navigate the Relationship Roadmap.
