Not every relationship or marriage has a major meltdown…
But when it happens, how do you put things back together?
How do you get past the hurt? The broken trust? The fear that something else is coming…especially when one partner developed a deep emotional relationship with someone else, but has decided to try to make your relationship work again…
How does the straying partner get over the emotional connection with that other person?
How can s/he learn to love you again…and you learn to love him/her again with the security that your relationship will last a lifetime?
There are things to do when reconciling a relationship. There are things NOT to do. There are also “gray” areas where you have to use your wisdom. (Knowing the right principles helps tremendously with this.)
