Having an affair, or the desire to have an affair is very common in married couples. Some married couples feel as if the bond that they so desired at the start actually becomes too restrictive. Recovering from an affair is certainly possible, and during our program we aim to find those reasons that you believe the marriage should be saved.

Of course you want to be very good friends with your lover and loved ones. Remember, having a successful marriage, takes a lot more than friendship. When you have that loving connection, communication needs to be different, as does respect. When your love life seems to lose its spark, then it’s natural to feel that your marriage is on the rocks. But again, this normally comes back down to communication and respect. And these are things that we can work on quite easily.

When a couple enter into marriage they normally spend lots of time together over many years. And of course, during that time there will be periods of frustration, anger and dare I say even hate. But the past is the past, but sometimes this is extremely hard for some couples to put aside. If one or both of the partners in a marriage is reacting to a toxic past, then some work needs to be done to resolve this to allow them to move on.

Sad but true, this is another very common reason why marriages become toxic. People feel like the only thing available to them is remaining in a marriage, as this seems to be the easiest option. This is sometimes financially, for the children, and also just to prevent the upheaval.

Staying together is definitely the easiest option, there is no denying that. But I would say that if you once loved and respected the person you are with. Then there is definitely hope that you can regenerate those feelings you had on your big day.
