That doesn't mean that you can't make your marriage better after cheating has torn it apart. In fact, it is important to make every effort to rebuild your marriage even stronger than it was before cheating became a problem.
Don't know where to begin?
That's where I come into the picture. These four things are things you can do that will help you have a marriage that is better than ever before. Try them all today and see how well they work for your marriage.
1) Make your marriage the primary focus of your life. It's hard. I know. We all live busy lives. With soccer mom (or dad) duties, work, play, church, social activities, and family commitments there never seem to be enough hours in the day. But, honestly, how many hours a day do you dedicate to working on your marriage? Your marriage needs to be your main focus not the thing that gets the leftovers of your attention when you're not too exhausted to think about it.
2) Discuss your plans together. How many times have you been hurrying up to get somewhere in your marriage only to discover that you're going different places? I'm not talking about scheduling conflicts you can mark on the calendar but plans you have for each other and your marriage. You can't set off on a trip around the world without discussing the itinerary and people march off towards "happily ever after" without a clue about where that is. Talk about it. With each other!
3) Be partners not strangers living in the same house. You and your spouse have pledge to love and honor one another but there needs to be a little more to it than that. You are partners in life. You hope to have a long life together. Make sure that you're going through it all together and not struggling through life alone and hoping to meet up at the finish line.
4) Agree to disagree about some things but leave old arguments in the past. There is no couple on the planet that agrees about everything. There are things you're going to disagree about. If there are unresolved issues you need to resolve them now. Stop bringing up ancient history every time you have a disagreement. Get to the heart of the problem and solve it. Opening old wounds for every fight only serve to hurt you both more in the long run.
