Like it or not, marriage IS WORK…but it doesn’t have to be “hard” work.
If you want win your spouse over after an affair, you need to know how to meet his/her needs. You can start by
understanding what a man and a woman’s emotional needs really are.
If you were to ask your spouse what the other man/woman had that you don’t….you’d get a vague answer without finding the real truth.
To find the REAL reason why cheating spouses wreak havoc on their marriages, start with the reason why they left in the first place…unmet
Ultimate Expectations.
Every couple goes into a marriage with expectations of each other that are NEVER CLEARLY DISCUSSED simply because they don’t REALLY understand, nor can they clearly explain, what their own expectations are…let alone their spouses!
Cheating spouses cheat because they are in search of unmet, yet unspoken deep emotional needs.
After years of helping struggling couples with their marriages, I’ve identified a path that ALL couples travel when they’re headed for a divorce. And the first tell tale sign to watch out for is unmet Ultimate Expectations.
It’s as simple as this…..
If You Aren’t Meeting Your Spouse’s Needs,
They Will Find Someone Else Who WILLThis fact is also one of the reasons why most affairs don’t last.
Let me explain…
When your spouse met this other man/woman, they THOUGHT that this other person was meeting their needs, but what was really happening is they were blinded by the Romance stage of a relationship.
You and your spouse went through this stage also.
If you think back to the beginning of your relationship, you may not have noticed at the time, but the two of you were on your BEST behavior.
Looking back, it might even seem like your spouse was a different person back then.
The reason? There is actually a chemical released in your brain that makes you feel “infatuated” with this other person.
It would even be safe to say that cheating spouses can’t think straight when they’re caught up in this “biological phenomenon”.
This is also why some couples make irrational decisions early in their relationship, like going off to Las Vegas and getting married on a whim.
Down the road, after the Romance stage of their relationship is over, many of these couples eventually get divorced.
So if you’re worried that your cheating spouse is “in love” with this other person, the chances are, it is VERY short lived…which means you STILL have a chance to win over your spouse!
The first step starts with
understanding the different Ultimate Expectations of men and women.
You owe it to yourself and your children to give your marriage a second chance.
When you meet your spouse’s expectations, you’ll find your marriage to be a WHOLE LOT EASIER…not to mention MUCH LESS STRESSFUL!
In fact, I’ve recently found a statistic that might give you some inspiration….
A study from the Institute for American Values found that...
"Almost Eight Out of 10 Couples Who Avoided Divorce Were Happily Married Five Years Later."If you take the first step in improving your marriage and you start meeting your spouses’ needs, I promise you, your marriage will be much stronger and more fulfilling than it was before the affair took place.
