For any woman dealing with the fallout of infidelity, this sensitive and practical guide offers proven tools to help you make wise and empowering decisions as you deal with your husband’s sexual betrayal.
If you have been devastated by your husband's sexual betrayal--whether an isolated incident or a long-term pattern of addiction--you don't have to live as a victim. If you choose to stay in your marriage, you have options other than punishing, tolerating, or ignoring your spouse; in fact, extraordinary growth awaits a woman willing to deal with the pain of her husband's struggles with sexual purity. Even if your spouse will not participate in a program for healing, you can change your own life in powerful and permanent ways. 
Shattered Vows is inspired by Debra Laaser's own journey through betrayal, her extensive work with hundreds of hurting women as a licensed marriage and family therapist, and her healed marriage after her husband's infidelity. 
In this book, she gives you the emotional tools to develop greater intimacy in your life, spiritual tools to transform your suffering, and meaningful answers to the questions that arise amid the complex fallout of broken vows: 
<ol>
<li>What am I supposed to do now?</li>
<li>Why should I get help when this is his problem?</li>
<li>How could this have happened?</li>
<li>Where can I hide my heart?</li>
<li>When will I stop feeling so out of control?</li>
<li>What do you mean, "do I want to get well?"</li>
<li>How can I ever trust him again?</li>
<li>Is forgiving him really possible?</li>
<li>How can we rebuild our relationship?</li>
</ol>
The pain endured from sexual betrayal can break your heart, but it does not need to break your life.
