That marriage is not a bed or roses is something that any child would tell you. Even if somehow it can be said to be a bed of roses, roses come with thorns. Marriage comes with daily problems. Don't forget that marriage involves two very different individual. They have to find a way of ensuring their differences become their strength. Achieving this is tasking enough.
The problems become even more difficult when they have to begin to deal with infidelity. When it comes to infidelity, many couples have no idea how to handle it. The truth is that no married folk wants to know how to handle infidelity as they don't pray to have to deal with it.
When folks are sadly confronted with this situation, they have to know how to handle it if their marriage would be repaired. If saving your marriage is something you regard seriously, then you would be willing to make any sacrifice required.
A lot of married people who have lived with a partner's infidelity would usually look back to where and when they started. The promises made which have now been broken, the vows they made and the life they promised each other. You would always doubt if you can regain that passion again?
Many folks are ready to give their marriage a second chance, but are disturbed by doubt. The question of trust is one of the major challenges to be handled. You and you alone can handle this state of mind. In addition to this, your spouse would have to rebuild the trust you once had.
Having said the above, your spouse can't regain your trust if you do not give them an opportunity to do so. It's really possible for you to be so disappointed that you somehow undermine any attempt at regaining your trust. The choice to allow them earn your trust or not is yours.
How much does saving your marriage mean to you? This is much more than only talking. It involves a good dose of selflessness. Despite the pain, regardless of the disappointment, you must see beyond yourself and locate something to anchor on. If for any reason you fail to see anything that you can hold unto, you would not be able to repair your marriage.
We have examples of couples who held on only because of their kids. Some have in doing so, discovered that they began eventually to repair their marriage though their earlier motivation for holding on was the kids.
Just the same way you require a reason to live, you need a motivation to make your marriage work. Take the time to discover only one thing to focus on. You could end up being one of those who would in the future be especially thankful that you held on just for that singular reason.
