Are you wanting to heal your relationship? Or maybe you're not sure, but you'd like to explore the idea, and that's led you to this podcast. I'm Morgan Robinson, and my husband Brad, is an international affair recovery expert. Together, we founded Marriage Solutions, a multi-location group marriage counseling private practice devoted exclusively to helping couples heal and rebuild their relationship to

stronger than ever before. In fact, we're the best reviewed couples therapists in the Midwest.

better care of themselves and each other. He says this has been shown consistently over decades,

even though this is a very short podcast. I've spent hours researching this. And what I came up

It's kind of funny how we spend all this time researching and we kind of come back to what we've already know.

But I want to leave you with some interesting research because I want you to think about this if you're in that process of deciding should I divorce or should I stay.

As we've talked about before, you know, in the seven

stages of healing after an affair, there's the moment of discovery, which is very traumatic when
