After the Affair: Healing the Pain and Rebuilding Trust When a Partner Has Been Unfaithful |
From the Publisher Infidelity is often the deathblow to a relationship. But it can also be a wake-up call, challenging couples to confront the issues that led to the affair and build a healthier, more intimate relationship than before. As a clinical psychologist who has been treating distressed couples for twenty-one years, Dr. Janis Abrahms Spring has found that couples can survive infidelity, provided that both partners are willing to look honestly at themselves and at each other and acquire the skills they need to help themselves through such a shattering crisis. After the Affair is the first book that explains exactly how to do this, offering a series of original and proven strategies that enable both partners to heal from infidelity without viewing each other simply as victims or victimizers. For those who are going through the pain, confusion, and anger of an infidelity, After the Affair can help you cope with the raging emotions, make a thoughtful decision about your future, and, if you choose to recommit, reclaim a life together. |

Web Sites that will help your marriage to recover from an affair
I found these site very helpful when I experienced the pain of an unfaithful spouse in my own marriage. While the pain at the beginning seems extreme and excrutiating, I came to realize over time that an affair does not have to be the end of a marriage. Restoration can take place through God. It may seem impossible at the beginning to restore a marriage after such a damaging act, but it can happen. Sometimes we can't effect the outcome of the marriage if the other spouse is still having the affair. If that is the case, it is still possible to learn about yourself and your emotions.
