So the big question I invite you to ponder is this: can a committed relationship fully recover after infidelity, without long-term costs?

What has changed so dramatically in the last few years is the number of men and women who enter committed relationships after meeting their partner online.
Statistics: The latest figures are that 20 million people per month are engaging in online dating. About 70% of people surveyed said they would use an online dating service to find their partner if they were looking for a relationship. And in a large-scale survey 17% of couples married from 2007 to early 2010 said they had met online.

When you bond with and commit to a long-term marriage relationship with another human being, you usually start from a place of peace. Both of you are accepted and loved and are interested in the interests, activities and passions of the other. There may be a lot going on, but your relationship is one of peace…20 years…Are you holding back from each other to keep the peace? These are signs, not of peace, but of a truce, a cease-fire…the truce is not a happy place. It may be temporarily practical, but seldom more than an uneasy peace.
