Used with its companion book, Beyond Betrayal, this chapter-by-chapter study guide gives men concrete guidelines on how to enter into their wife’s healing journey — while at the same time bolstering their own.
Wives will find that the validation and guidance offered in Beyond Betrayal: How God is Healing Women (and Couples) from Infidelity continue in this guide. New exercises, scriptural meditations and resources help them to go deeper in their understanding of sex addiction, trauma, intimacy, and more.
Healing from sex addiction and betrayal trauma is “the messiest journey ever.” With guidance and support, though, couples can survive it… and ultimately, thrive.
