E149: Is my marriage to blame for the affair?

BEAUTY BEYOND BETRAYAL - Heal from Betrayal, Affair Recovery, Betrayal Trauma Recovery

Feb 23 2024 • 34 mins

Many would like to blame marital problems to justify their affair. Or even use the difficulties within the marital relationship as an excuse to stray.

But let me just begin today with truth…

Marriages don’t cause affairs. Good or bad. Many who have affairs actually have good marriages. And then there are those whose marriages are difficult - both husband and wife recognize it - yet only one chooses to cheat. And then there is the scenario where one spouse views the marital relationship differently than the other and strays.

While marriages don't cause affairs, they can certainly make one or both parties vulnerable.

This is Part 3 of the series - What makes you vulnerable to an affair?

In today’s episode, I want to help you identify relational issues that might cause vulnerability in your marriage.  Again, this is not a justification for betrayal. Even in the most difficult of marriages, the unfaithful make the choice to cheat and must take full responsibility for their actions.

But we will explore certain factors that can make both parties vulnerable to an affair if not address properly.

Grab your spouse, pen and paper, your favorite latte and let's dive in.
