Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-02 00:00:00 Chad Strosnider This was suggested as a source I could use for some research I was doing for a paper. I found it to be an interesting book that had some good suggestions on how to handle different aspects of infidelity, how it impacts your marriage, and provides some steps you can take to work on improving your marriage relationship or what you can do to survive the failure of your marriage and subsequent divorce. It did hold my interest throughout much of the book as I read it; however, it seemed like the first three chapters were more stories about people either discussing their affairs (albeit briefly) or discovering their spouses had been having an affair and how it affected them. Oddly enough, it did help me out a bit with some of the suggestions on steps I can take to work on and improve my marital relationship. It also helped me to seriously consider some frustrations in my marriage and what is my responsibility versus my wife's responsibility. I think the biggest think I took from the book is that each spouse is a thinking, responsible individual and each spouse needs to take responsibility for his or her own decisions and actions. If one spouse engages in an adulterous relationship, that is, ultimately, their decision and the wounded spouse does not need to take responsibility for the other spouse's decision. Yes, each spouse has a part to play, but each of us chooses how we are going to react to the other person's behavior, if we are going to make 'smart' choices and react appropriately or if we are going to make poor choices and react inappropriately. While I do not necessarily agree with EVERYTHING they said, I felt they did have some useful pointers, ideas, and suggestions to help people working through the painful processes of either discovering a spouse has been committing adultery or what happens afterwards (either repairing the marriage relationship or divorce).

Review # 2 was written on 2015-01-17 00:00:00 Hector V For Anyone that is Married or Single This was a very hard book to read. It gives you insights to what the different types of affairs are, how it has affected some, how one can recover. So many good stories in this book that anyone can relate to. I recommend this book to everyone that wants to know what can happen to one's relationship. Keep an open mind. Don't think it can never happen to you. If it does, I am truly sorry. But know that you are not alone.
