Although I could have elaborated on each of the areas involved in overcoming affairs, I have kept them simple. I know when people are hurting, they need simple answers. In the last of this series, I will address the final part of what is needed in re-building intimacy. That final part is “time”. It will take time for wounds to heal. It is necessary to place this one last, as many people just keep thinking that time alone will fix everything. Time alone will not repair what has occurred. Just giving a person time without any other actions will not lead to any changes.
When changes are made and those changes continue over time, then recovery and repair are possible. Time alone will allow an emotional gangrene to set in and destroy the relationship. When the wounds have been taken care of, then time becomes one of the sources of healing in relationship matters. My experience is that it will take all the items I mentioned in this series in order to make things better.
Best Regards,
