BONUS REPLAY: My Strategy for Affair Recovery

Season 7 might be over, but we are bringing back the Top 10 most listened-to episodes in Lifegiver Podcast History!

Betrayal is, unfortunately, more common than you think- especially in the service culture.  In this episode, I share with you the strategy I use to help couples work through affair recovery.  There are three phases and couples will certainly stall if not fail to recover their marriage if they miss important steps throughout the phases.  Two people, if are both willing to work hard, can rebuild their marriage after an affair and go on to have a rich relationship.  

Here are some of the resources mentioned throughout the episode:
