Karen, I must compliment your writing talents. You are correct about the wake up call an affair presents to a relationship. Though different, ours is better now. It did require a Retrouvaille experience to bring out the hurt issues, but well worth the efort. Our relationship is healing and the marriage is wonderful. Our kids (16,12,8) have had a real ride also. The house is at a calm now with many smiles and a relaxed feeling of comfort. We do things with other couples and found out how boring we had become with our jobs and ignoring our fun lives. Yes Karen, there is always hope. Look past the hurts and forgive. And remember, God does not create junk.
