Your Story

Length: one or two pages

  1. Please tell your story from your perspective; also, if your spouse is willing to contribute to helping others by writing his/her story separately we would be very grateful.

  3. How did you or your spouse discover the affair?
  4. What kind of problem had the infidelity created in your life?
  5. What has the problem cost in stress, worry, money, lost opportunities, or failure to succeed?
  6. If there were any, tell us about some of the things that didn't work or were detrimental as you tried to recover.
    TIP: The reader truly wants to know what's at stake in an emotional way, and to be able to visualize it in an equally emotional way, how good can it be when the problem is properly addressed?
  7. Which programs were you involved in? (EMS Weekend, EMS Online, Harboring Hope, Hope For Healing, Mentorship, Recovery Library Membership)
  8. For each program you were involved in, what did it accomplish for you and/or your marriage? TIP: Important: If possible, try to give tangible & relatable examples of how each program(s) affected your life and/or marriage.
