Is your marriage Worth the Pain of Surviving An Affair?

One of the biggest problems marriage can encounter is the problem of infidelity. Surviving an affair is often the most difficult thing that two people could ever face. There are very strong emotions involved with cheating - both on the part of the innocent spouse and the spouse who cheated. Guilt, blame, anger... the list goes on and on. The marital problems can reach a breaking point very quickly if the affair isn't addressed!

How do you know if your surviving an affair is even possible? After all, infidelity ends more marriages than just about any other issue. How can yours be different?

Well, any marriage can survive an affair, but things will be much easier if you can honestly say these things about your spouse:

• Your spouse told you about the affair voluntarily, instead of you finding out about it yourself.
• Your spouse was honest with you about the details of the affair.
• Your spouse is truly sorry that he or she had the affair.
• Your spouse has agreed to end the affair, or has already ended it.
• Your spouse has agreed to work with you to rebuild your relationship.

Even if all of these things are true, rebuilding your marriage without relationship help will be quite difficult. One of the most highly rated resources is a course called Save the Marriage - it's helped thousands of couples with surviving an affair.
