Can Couples Counseling Save A Marriage After An Affair?

Jun 08, 2017

When people get married, they swear to love each other "till death do us part." Unfortunately, affairs from either member of the marriage can cripple it and threaten to destroy that precious union.
Is there any way that couples counseling can save a marriage after an affair?

Yes, but it won't be easy. For couples who truly want to save a marriage after an affair, admitting they want to save it is the first step. It shows that there is still love, or at least a connection, between the two that can be salvaged. The next step is to address why the affair happened.

The partner involved in the affair may claim there was "no reason," but couples counseling can help bring out any influencing factors, such as:
  • Boredom
  • Jealousy
  • Sexual frustration
  • Emotional immaturity
  • Psychological confusion
Once these influences have been identified, it is time to help the partner who has been wronged come to terms with anyways they may have contributed to the problem. While they have likely done nothing wrong, there is a chance that certain behaviors were alienating to their partner and drove them away.

The important thing in couples counseling after an affair is to avoid laying blame excessively. The problem must be explored objectively, which can be very difficult for many couples to handle. After the issue has been explored, they must learn to trust and enjoy each other's company again.

Is this possible? With dedicated partners and the skilled hand of a couples counselor, it is very possible. It will take a lot of hard work, though, so please contact us if you need that help.
