It might seem a little off to ask but you need to know what to do for Valentine's as you're struggling to save your marriage after cheating. Valentine's Day can be an important day in your efforts to get your marriage back on track and finally get the forgiveness you've been looking for. Here are a few tips to help you put things into perspective and ensure that you don't make any major missteps on Valentine's Day.
1) You can't buy love or forgiveness. Don't even try to break the bank in an effort to win her back. You do need to do something for the day but make it appropriate for the day. You can even go better than you have in year's past but it's a good idea to stay on par with the past and only slightly improve your offerings this year UNLESS Valentine's Day has been a bone of contention in the past within your marriage.
2) Say it from the heart. There is a greeting card for every occasion but none can state your case as well or as eloquently as you can. Only you know what's in your heart and on your mind. It's time to let her know if you really want to save your marriage after cheating on her. Don't rely on some dime store card writer to do the heavy lifting. It isn't that person's heart that is on the line here.
3) Make your date one that is about building a future together and not one that is about reliving the worst of the past. When you spend all your time looking back it's impossible to see the bumps in the road that are in front of you. Good marriages take planning and effort. They are very rewarding but they are not at all effortless. Don't risk throwing yours away by dwelling on things that are best left dead and buried.
4) Be romantic. Romance is something that you've probably gotten a bit out of practice with in your marriage. Now is the perfect opportunity to bring back some of the romance that made your marriage so special from the very beginning. It's also an excellent time to remind her of just how loving and romantic you can be.
Saving your marriage after cheating doesn't require you to change who you are at the core but a few small attitude adjustments can go a long way towards building the happily ever after you're looking for.
