"e;I became the keeper of secrets, and there were consequences. With my silence I protected my children and allowed them to forever see their father as a hero, but I had also given my husband a clean slate upon which he could rewrite his history, minus the embarrassing part. At first, silence was the glue that bound us together, then it was the weight under which we crumbled."e;***"e;Cheaters are selfish people. In fact, the most damning thing about cheating is that it reveals a lack of caring for and commitment to the whole family unit, not just one's spouse. 'I'm cheating because I care about my family so much more than my selfish desires,' said no person ever."e; ***Infidelity and the drama it creates have been around since the beginning of time. As a result, there is no shortage of advice on how to prevent it, what to do once it starts, or how to pick up the pieces once it ends . . . if it ends. Why do some marriages survive and others dissolve in the aftermath? Is there some magic ingredient present in enduring relationships? Is it possible to heal as individuals, yet fail to heal as a couple? In this deeply personal and intuitive book, one woman of faith tells her story of love, disillusionment, and resilience in a down-to-earth, upbeat, and sometimes humorous style that reflects the strength that comes from knowing God loves us, that he is in charge, and that he has the desire and ability to shape us into better people through our adversity. It will persuade you that, although we live in an age of throw-away marriages, there are still those who believe traditional values exist, that a family is a sacred commitment, that giving up is not an option.
