The Devastating Effects Of Infidelity

by Alex Archer

There is a lot to consider if you believe your spouse or significant other is being unfaithful. Infidelity brings up a lot of strong emotions, and may change your relationship permanently.

Cheating On Our Kids

by Alex Archer

Infidelity in marriage is an all too common occurence these days. Stories about this are rife, from gossip in the workplace, tabloids and magazines to TV chat shows. What are the effects of cheating on our society as a whole? Does this duplicitous behaviour affect the emotional health of our nation?

Get Your Man Back By Being Honest

by Justin Krawl

Breakups are one of the most devastating experiences a person can have, and it is only a rare few who don’t have to endure at least one breakup in their life. Sometimes the reasons behind a breakup are obvious and unavoidable, but at other times it might not be so clear.

The Hidden Costs Of Divorce

by Alex Archer

The high cost of divorce, financially, or emotionally, needs to be considered whenever a marriage is in trouble. One of the most common reasons for considering a divorce is that the marriage has been hurt by an affair, but it needs to be stated that affair recovery is possible.

Think about it like this: a marriage is like a corporation, and taking it apart is as complicated as dismantling a business but with the added problem of intense feelings.
