Couples dealing with infidelity can find help in a variety of places.

Dealing with infidelity is a painful, arduous task. No one expects you to go through it alone. If your spouse has had an affair and you believe you need help to cope, you won t have to look far. Help is a lot closer than you think.

Couples struggling over the issue of adultery will find the road a rough and painful one. Sometimes, only the help of an outside counselor can guide couples and help them remain focused.

If you are looking for guidance as you and your spouse confront this issue, here are some options:

Among your local marriage counselors will be those therapists who specialize in extramarital affairs. Your physician may be able to refer you to one. Our directory also lists counselors in your area.

Your local church most likely offers support groups and encounter weekends for couples seeking help. Since adultery broaches upon spiritual issues, many churches offer specialized counseling focusing on the subject. Churches that are part of large national affiliations may have more structured counseling organizations as well.

Friends and family who have gone through similar experiences can often be the most valuable counselors to advise couples in dealing with infidelity.

Help really is close by, and you don t have to struggle over this issue alone.
