Restoring Intimacy After Infidelity
Briefly

Infidelity often brings profound emotional turmoil and mistrust into relationships, causing couples to feel adrift. However, it is possible for couples to heal and even strengthen their bond post-infidelity. Research shows that couples working through infidelity in therapy can achieve greater satisfaction if they fully disclose the affair and address it openly. While statistics indicate that couples facing infidelity have a higher risk of divorce, those that remain together often report comparable satisfaction levels as couples without infidelity five years later, illustrating the potential for profound healing and growth.
Infidelity can be a devastating experience; however, with exploration of the initial impact and honest dialogue, couples can recover and build stronger bonds.
Couples facing infidelity report higher dissatisfaction initially but can demonstrate significant improvements if the affair is disclosed and addressed in therapy.
