I have often written that couples can recover from infidelity. The secret to overcoming the sting of infidelity is forgiveness and a desire to reconcile.
On repairing marriages, WebMD says, “Marriages do survive infidelity, but it takes courage to forgive someone who violates the marriage vows. Infidelity can shatter even the strongest relationship, leaving behind feelings of betrayal, guilt, and anger. For the one-quarter of married couples who have suffered this breach of loyalty, according to the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, overcoming those feelings can be extremely difficult.” Overcoming Infidelity
We wish Tiger Woods and his family well.
