"These situations in our marriages can bring out the question, ‘Do you want to know ME, or do you want to know me as you need me to be to keep you comfortable?’ We come to a more stable place in our relationships when we say, ‘I want to KNOW my partner - flaws and all,’ so that we can build on a place of collaboration and not coercion." - Kristin Hodson
Latter-day Saints have been talking about what an ideal marriage would look like ever since they were a young child in primary.
"I love to see the temple," they sing, "I'll go inside someday."
No one goes into a marriage thinking they are going to experience a betrayal.
So, what happens when that story of the ideal marriage gets ripped out of your hands? When betrayal happens, what do you do next? How to you navigate all the emotions that come along with it without dooming the relationship to failure?
In this week's episode of the podcast, we continue our conversation with Kristin Hodson, AASECT certified Sex Therapist and LCSW, about how to navigate an intimate betrayal in your relationship.
