Third Hour Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 There may be nothing so destructive to a marriage as adultery. The eradicated trust, the deep wounds of betrayal, and the feelings of guilt create a perfect storm, wreaking havoc from which many never come back. If this is your current situation, know that through the pain there is hope. Some couples recover, rebuild, and are stronger than ever after infidelity. It may seem impossible now, but there is healing on the other side of this... if that's what you both want. Based on years of research, my experience as a licensed marriage counselor, and the doctrines of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, these 5 steps are crucial if your are to heal your home, hearts, and lives. STEP 1: SEEK COUNSELING image via marriage.com "Members [sometimes] expect too much from Church leaders and teachings—expecting them to be experts in subjects well beyond their duties and responsibilities...

Guest LiterateParakeet Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Excellent article. I love that first quote by Elder Ballard. I don't recall reading/hearing that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrShorty Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I agree that the article was good. More interestingly, I think I was just pleased to see ThirdHour start taking articles from someone like Decker (a licensed LMFT). I have seen his articles elsewhere and, while I have not agreed with everything he has ever written, I find a lot of what he has written to be pretty good. Decker could be a good addition to ThirdHour's pool of writers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwrfrk Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 I had a GF do that to me and a fiance' as well. The GF, I dumped her like a rock. Never even acknowledged she existed. Saw her a couple times after, she would come up and try to get my attention, but I just treated her like thin air. Never saw her again, now care nor desire to even find out why or what became of her after. My fiance', I did different. I asked her why. How. What was she getting out of this besides hurting me. Then I dumped her. No woman (or man) is worth that kind of pain. If I was married and had to deal with that, I don't know what I'd do until it happens. Anyone can say anything, but when it's happening and you're right there inside of the mess, everything changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
