Cheating on a spouse is the ultimate form of betrayal. It destroys trust, which is the very core of any loving relationship.
Unfortunately, in our marriage research, we have rarely observed couples who have successfully rebuilt their relationship after infidelity.
By nature, those who engage in infidelity are dishonest, disloyal, and lack moral strength within the relationship, so rebuilding the trust is a nearly impossible task. Why? Because being unfaithful fractures a wholesome, successful, and enduring relationship at its very foundation.
There are NO excuses for infidelity! And there is no excuse for accepting it from your partner. It is an absolute deal breaker—the first time, the second time, or anytime.
Cheating on the one you love is the most unpardonable of all sins. When a spouse or lover violates the "core of trust" or the "bond of faith" in the relationship, the very heart of that relationship has likely been destroyed.
Loving someone for a lifetime does not occur by accident. To keep love alive and thriving, both partners must do simple things, day in and day out, that nurture their relationship.
In other words, you cannot betray the one you love and expect your marriage or relationship to survive happily.
It pains our heart to see couples embrace the values of the "Desperate Housewives," thinking it's okay to cheat on a loved one and everything will be okay afterward.
The ultimate betrayal of the one you say you love is an unrecoverable act!
There is rarely EVER an authentic recovery from a relationship poisoned by cheating, betrayal, infidelity, and disloyalty. Those who have been successfully married for years know this is true.
Don't be misled by those who suggest otherwise.
Being honest and trustworthy is at the heart of all the best loving relationships we have studied. Those couples trust each other with their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. The damage done by breaking that trust it just too great. The relationship will never be the same.
