As I ask around to friends and family, “What topics should I put on my blog”, one topic has come up that is of such critical importance that I have to tackle it right away.
The topic is "Surviving an Affair"
Can you survive an affair? Should you survive an affair? Why would you want to?
But I'm not a psychologist; I'm not a marriage counselor. Where would I go for help? I go to my trusted online marriage counselor aide. The web site www.marriagebuilder.com. Of course on that site there is a great article “How to Survive Infidelity” .
In their article Dr Harley discusses the issues of: Coping with Infidelity, Part 1: How Do Affairs Begin? Coping with Infidelity, Part 2: How Should Affairs End? Coping with Infidelity, Part 3: Restoring the Marital Relationship. Coping with Infidelity, Part 4: Overcoming Resentment. Four Rules to Guide Marital Recovery After an Affair. What to Do with an Unfaithful Husband. What to Do with an Unfaithful Wife. Escaping the Jaws of Infidelity: How to Avoid an Affair. The Lover's Perspective on Infidelity. How Can I recover My Sexual Desire for My Husband After My Affair? Infidelity on the Internet. Can't We Just Forgive and Forget? What to Do When You (or Your Spouse) Become Pregnant with a Lover's Child.
Guys, I can't do it any better than Dr. Harley, so I am just here pointing to the best source I know. Now some of you may need to do the hard work of reading this and taking action.
Remember the adage, “Readers are Leaders”. Be a reader. Be a leader. Here are some books to read on the subject. "His Needs Her Needs" will transform your marriage even if it is already good.
Do it for your spouse. Do it for your kids. Do it for you.
