Couple Challenges: the Series - Infidelity

Few issues a couple may face have a more devastating impact as an affair, infidelity or cheating. Infidelity erodes the basic foundational reason the couple exists; their emotional bond. 

This emotional bond is substantiated by the couple's believe that they are the most important person in their partner's life, that they are the most special and the most trusted. No one is more intimate than their spouse or partner. 

All that makes this emotional bond safe and sacred for the couple is eliminated in one fell swoop by the destructive effects of infidelity.

A myth in the couple therapy world is that if infidelity takes place, the couple has to divorce or split up. Although this is certainly the result on many occasions, it does not have to be the case.
