ABSTRACT

Once the early indelity couples therapy work of attending to the betrayed partner’s devastation has begun, once the betraying partner’s earnest commitment to the long-term love relationship (LTLR) has been armed, and once the initial assessment of the LTLR and of the type of indelity have been accomplished, the work of rebuilding the LTLR’s intimacy structure needs to commence. is work is dened by two major related goals: signicantly increasing three intimacies (as outlined in the previous chapter) functioning and reestablishing trust as a given in the LTLR. e accomplishment of these two therapy goals results in the creation of a LTLR that is so strong in its intimacy that it is indelity proof.
