What am I supposed to do after I discover my spouse had an affair?
This is a question that has rattled many marriages and torn them apart. Our society often answers with "Leave them, the marriage is over". You may look at all of the pieces of your broken heart and think that is no hope and that you should just give up. Whether you were married for 1 year or 30, finding out about an affair is never an easy thing to get through.
The other side can be difficult as well. Deciding to commit an affair can leave you reeling and lost, uncertain about which way to go. Maybe you did it because of a hard marriage, with a lot of problems that were swept under the rug. Maybe you fell in love. You feel your world falling down around you, and you aren't sure which way to turn.
This guidebook is meant for you!
This is a Christian marriage recovery guidebook, and overcoming an affair study guide that will help you to regain the trust and love that your marriage has lost over the years. The idea is to restore trust after betrayal and provide the faith-based healing that you are looking for.
Of course, this isn't going to be easy. You need to think about Christian couples therapy, a strong support group, and a love for God through it all. But through this guided Christian study for couples, you will be able to learn more about what caused the affair and can look at ways to bring you and your spouse closer together, rebuilding your marriage with faith.
This guidebook is written from the point of view of a person who went outside the marriage and had an affair. There are parts for both parties, the one who was cheated on and the one who was unfaithful. And there are parts that both can work on together. The ultimate goal is for forgiveness and reconciliation, helping both spouses to stay together as God intended and for healing after infidelity.
Through this Christian Couple's Workbook, we are going to focus on some of the hard stuff, giving you a chance to write down your thoughts, pray to have God be included, and have discussions with one another over the next 30 days. Some of the topics we will explore include:
Discovering the affair
Avoiding rash decisions
Keeping the emotions in check
How to find good and godly counsel to help you stay together
Handling some of the difficult days
Making the decision to stay together, even when society tells you not to
Finding your tribe
Working to be accountable for your part and looking for forgiveness

An affair is never easy and many marriages have fallen and broken apart after this is done. But it is possible to regain your marriage and come together closer than ever before with a little help. This guidebook can help make that happen!
