Discover The Steps To Rebuilding A Marriage After Infidelity

How do you go about rebuilding a marriage after infidelity - where trust has been shattered and forgiveness seems unachievable. Once the affair is revealed, it often places more strain than the marriage can handle

Some couples will be up for the challenge, but there are others who will be lost and have very little clue as to what their first step should be. In short they need help

There is one key element however in this that the majority of couples wind up ignoring while attempting  to rebuild a marriage after infidelity. When people ignore this key element, they often bring about their own downfall as the communication they sorely require cannot take place

This element is trying to hold on to the past and recreate your old marriage. While you might want your old life back, before this happened... or at least before you were aware of the infidelity... it cannot happen. Your old life is gone, your old marriage is no more and trying to revive it is like trying to stick a square peg into a round hole.

Instead you need to look at this as the start of a brand new marriage.Looking to the past is a good way to destroy your future. Looking to the future can increase your chances of actually having a future.

So step one is to acknowledge this and let go of those old things. Do not forget them - but do not pretend it can be like it was before. Rebuilding marriage after infidelity has a greater chance of success if this can be done successfully
