Someone once told me that a relationship is a “relation” plus “ship”. Two people on a ship together. Two people on a journey together.
A question that couples ask me is, how do we build connection?
Here is the most basic answer.
To build connection you must interconnect values.
The process of healing and recovering from an affair is not one that should be taken alone. To heal the relationship. To allow new growth to take places and old wounds to heal. You and your partner should find commitment in the process of restoration. A way to come together and heal.
After an affair, two common questions include, how long should you continue to feel the way that you are feeling or who should you tell about the affair. Both questions are important to understand as you navigate and heal from the process of the affair.
Loving each other more is far better than fighting with each other.
As a relationship counselor, I strongly advocate for acts that create connection, support and overall improvements to the relationships. One of my favorite strategies to share with couples that I work with is reflective growth.
