Marriage and Infidelity: Three Keys to Help Your Marriage

Marriage and Infidelity: the last thing you want is those two words mixed together in your life. Here are three keys to open the doors to reconciliation. Keep in mind that you will need to make some tough decisions as you go along the path of reconstructing your marriage.

The Three Keys to rebuilding trust in your marriage are:

1) The affair must come to an end. And you need to decide whether rebuilding the marriage is something you want to do.

2) Honesty should take priority. You have to be able to tell your partner you're hurt and upset over the affair. You need to hear why they had the affair. Honesty is crucial and you both need to learn how to accept what the other is saying without becoming verbally abusive.

3) Spend more time together. Dedicate more time to your relationship. Rebuilding trust after an affair is an ongoing process. The emotional and physical distance you feel after adultery can be shortened by spending more time together. It does not matter whether the time is spent talking about the relationship or if you go out together to some special place. You need to work on reconnecting with each other and you can't do that if you're not together.

When we talk about marriage and infidelity, keep in mind that there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel. With time, work and patience you can rebuild the trust. And both of you can get back to the way you were early in your marriage when you promised to be committed to each other forever. You deserve to enjoy a healthy and loving relationship.

For many couples, the realization that an affair has occurred is a reawakening for their marriage. Make it now your aim to learn how to rebuild your relationship.
