7 Vital Steps for Marriage Reconciliation after Infidelity
- I have tried to put these 7 vital steps for marriage reconciliation after infidelity in the order of their importance. Set a time to come together to
talk. Make sure there are no distractions. (i.e., television, children etc.) If at all possible, pray before you start. If your spouse is not willing to

- Both must be willing to come clean or these 7 steps for marriage reconciliation after infidelity won’t work. Please commit to tell the truth, the whole
truth, nothing but the truth, so help you God. Don’t say, “Yes I was with him/her all night but nothing happened.” That is an insult to his/her
intelligence. Even a stupid person can see through that. Tell the truth and face the consequences if you want these 7 steps for marriage reciliation after infidelity to work for you.!

- One of the most vital of the 7 steps to marriage reconciliation after infidelity is to let the violated person ask all of the questions they want to ask.
Of course, the violator must answer each one to the other person’s satisfaction. It will be to their satisfaction if you tell the truth. Realize this process might take a long time, ours took months.
- The violator Must take responsibility for their actions. Don’t blame it on the devil, the moonlight, the other person, the weather, or it just happened, all of those are excuses and your spouse cannot stand one more of those.
- Apologize, Apologize, Apologize! My husband kept telling me, “Jackie I was wrong please forgive me, and what can I do to make it right?” If you don’t truly mean it though, your spouse will know that too. You have to mean it for true marriage reconciliation to take place.
- Give the betrayed person time to process what they have heard. Each one of these 7 vital steps to marriage reconciliation after infidelity is important. None of this is easy but it sure is worth it if your marriage can be saved.
