Infidelity Counseling
Professional Help to Save Your Marriage
Infidelity is potentially one of the most devastating acts to harm your marriage. Many believe or tell themselves that infidelity is only limited to physical acts, but, in reality, emotional infidelity can be just as harmful to your partner and to your marriage. It is possible to salvage your marriage, but it takes a lot of work from both parties to identify the problems that led you here.
Carver Counseling is ready to work with struggling marriages that have been upended by infidelity. Our goal is not to condemn or judge any individual with personal bias, but to accurately identify the mistakes and problems that are associated with and led to the act, so that you might be able to overcome problems and keep your marriage intact.
The First Steps in Rebuilding a Foundation
Unfaithful acts effectively destroy marriages at their very foundation. The result leads to nothing but anxiety, stress, arguing, blaming, and so on. This is why partners must be willing to be open to finding a new way to start rebuilding.
The process can be long and difficult requiring a hefty amount of patience from both parties. Both partners need to be able to frame their perspective in an understanding way to understand all the problems involved and the grievances. This is not saying that the betrayed party should be blamed for pushing someone to infidelity, but we also cannot ignore problematics factors in the marriage.
Those who act on infidelity typically do so because they express that their needs are not being met in some way. If we can identify these needs, how to approach them, and how to communicate those problems, so that your partnership is strong enough to overcome before it leads to harmful acts. This is the new basis for the foundation that was lacking, and gives your marriage at least a fighting chance to start anew.
STRIVING TO REGAIN INTIMACY
If you're able to reduce stress and pain, taking steps to build a new foundation, you need to remind yourself that intimacy is something you need to actively work toward.
This is especially true among those who've been married for years, have gone through many problems, and maybe are even devoting their emotions and attention to raising children.
GIVE YOUR MARRIAGE ATTENTION AND EFFORT
The problem is that your marriage will not magically get the attention it needs just because of some vows. It's an active practice that requires your commitment.

What Patients Have to Share About Us
After years of marriage, we finally decided our issues might not be worth working through. We decided last minute to give counseling a try, and they really helped us discover what matters.
Janice Kraft
We hadn't been married long, but were already hitting some pretty rough spots. It was impossible to talk, but our counselor here helped us stay calm and talk it out. We identified and worked out our problems, but ultimately decided not to stay together. They helped us see that this could also be a healthy choice for both of us.
