Marriage 2.0

You and your partner have rolled up your sleeves and done the hard work of affair recovery. It has been brutal and beautiful. There have been tears and anger and tender moments of connection that you didn’t think possible.

You would never choose to go through something like this, and you realize the deeper relationship it’s helped you and your partner create.

You’ve done good work and made good progress, but the work is not *quite* done yet.

Now, it’s time to take a look at the patterns that were in place before the affair, the losing strategies that each of you used without even realizing it (or, maybe you were acutely aware that there were losing strategies and didn’t address them).

This is the point where we shift into traditional Relational Life work, to deepen your understanding of yourself and your partner and therefore deepen your relationship. We help each of you with the part of yourself that could care less about using effective skills. The healing will go beyond the betrayal wound to all of the others that have occurred – for both of you– so that you can learn the process of repair. This will allow you can create a more sound foundation for the happiness and security you’ve both wanted.

Remember that Japanese artform of Kintsugi that we mentioned before? Taking broken pieces of pottery and putting them back together with gold to form a new piece that is even more strong and beautiful? This is where you begin to see what the new piece looks like. Your relationship has gone through one of the most difficult examples of harmony to disharmony. Kintsugi is the work of repair. If you can put these pieces back together, you can face whatever else life throws in your direction.
