After the Affair:
Overcoming the Pain and Rebuilding Trust
When a Partner has been Unfaithful
by Janice Abrahm Spring
Perennial Currents, 1997
Janice Abrahm Spring helps couples sort through the emotional
hubris of marital infidelity with both validation and frankness.
Here is what you would need to do, she is saying, if you want to
keep your marriage alive. Number one, take the steps
necessary to slowly rebuild trust, and that is no short order.
Number two, see a counsellor and explore what was happening
in your marriage before the affair.
No, marriage counseling will not save every relationship at this
point. But the odds are not in your favour without it.
An excellent read for couples and clinicians alike.
~ Stephen Douglas, 2005
