Surviving an Affair

By: Dr. Willard F. Harley Jr., Dr. Jennifer Harley Chalmers

Narrated by: Dr. Willard F. Harley Jr.

Infidelity is common, occurring in more than half of all marriages. And it is one of life's most painful experiences for everyone involved - the betrayed spouse, the children, the extended family members, and even the lover and wayward spouse. With all that sadness, why do people have affairs? And once trust is broken, how can a couple reconcile?

In Surviving an Affair, Drs. Harley and Chalmers describe the most common types of affairs, the reasons they begin and end, the best way to end them, and the best way to restore a marriage after an affair. But most importantly, they help listeners survive the ordeal by providing them with step-by-step guidance that minimizes suffering and offers hope for rebuilding a loving and trusting marital relationship.

great for therapists and clients

As a couples counselor, I found this book an excellent guide to marital health 😀

Dr. Harley & Chalmers process can and does work

This book quite likely saved my marriage. I have had infidelity in my marriage. I thought there was no way I could ever trust that woman again. The problem was I really loved her, I felt we were meant to be together. But now after this? This book was recommended by a counselor we went to see. I was ready to go my own way, thinking there was no way I can recover. Then I read this book. I asked my spouse to do the same if she wanted us to be together. While not all parts work for us, the ones that do are critical to any recovery. No independent thinking or active. Keep making deposits to your spouse’s love bank. Thank you, author, you helped us so far…
