Do you remember the promises you made to each other? “For better or for worse, till death do us part.” They were so sweet when uttered before the altar. A few years after, however, the words still bind even if the amazing feelings are no longer there. Does an affair erase those promises? By no means!For better or for worse. The husband and the wife are both subject to mistakes and failures. An affair, however, is perhaps the greatest sin or failure that a spouse can commit. The aftermath of the affair is usually the worst part of the marriage. What should you do after the affair? Cry and simply call it quits? If so, where are your vows and your promises?
You need to go deep into yourself and ask yourself on how much your spouse means to you. After you forgive your spouse, you should accept him or her all over again. You need to be reminded of your wedding vows and your love for each other.
Love is affirmed by the level of acceptance you show to your spouse. Forgiveness, then acceptance. After acceptance comes the difficult task of rebuilding. In doing so, you hold each other’s hand, weather the storm, and come out stronger and more loving than before.
