It really is disheartening to see how cavalier we have become about infidelity. There is barely any honor among men these days and it is getting harder and harder to trust the ones you sleep next to. Stephen address the tragic truth that cheating has become the norm. I was watching a very old television program the other day and there was a quote that is most applicable to my review of this book and that quote is"No truth is so powerful that it cannot be tested with doubt and there is no man so important that he is infallible". The movie was called, `The Outer Limits.We must always be wary of the fact that people are inherently prone to making mistakes, no one is perfect and we really cannot take people solely at their word. Stephen basically reminds us that we are all flawed that way and because of our predisposition to lie and do things that we would later regret, we all deserve a chance at forgiveness. The most important thing to remember is that forgiving someone does not necessarily mean that you should forget what they did. How else can you learn from your mistakes if you dismiss the memory of the lesson?.Stephen tries to give you the advise you need to keep a level head when you are faced with a cheating spouse or partner. In truth problems are rarely every solved when you are angry or resentful. Stephen takes a very stern approach to delivering his message. He does not take the idea of cheating lightly. This book is all about second chances. It really does help you work through issues that you would have normally walked away from.Relationships require a lot of work and even though some of us may not want to admit it, our attitudes towards or partners can become part of the reason they choose to seek pleasure outside of the relationship. Stephen teaches you how to work on strengthening your relationship so that you don't ever have to suffer the pain of cheating. This is not a book to be taken lightly because the content is both relevant and enlightening.It was a bit short and I found there were some areas there that he could have expanded on. Perhaps he could have included part that dealt with repeat offenders in great detail. Some of us may follow his advice and have a successful relationship, others may forgive and move on, but what are you required to do when your partner cheats again? It's certainly something to think about.
