Book Description

Statistics show that one in every four marriages is impacted by infidelity. So the odds are pretty good that you or someone you know has experienced the searing pain of marital infidelity. But adultery is not an automatic death sentence for your marriage. You can trust again. You can restore intimacy. You can have a relationship that you will both cherish for a lifetime.

Ten years ago, Gary and Mona Shriver experienced the devastation caused by adultery, and in the course of trying to save themselves, they wrote this book. Raw, transparently honest, the Shrivers’ story alone is an inspiration, offering hope and practical strategies for healing. Now this updated and revised edition adds other real-life stories of betrayal and forgiveness, and new information defining adultery, including the destruction of emotional affairs. Some doubt if a marriage can truly heal after the ravages of infidelity. Unfaithful proves you can. It’s not easy ... but it can be done. Is it worth it? Yes. And you hold the first step—and hope—in your hand.


Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Co-founders of Hope and Healing Ministries and a married couple, the authors offer what the subtitle affirms-hope and healing-in this revealing autobiography of their excruciating journey through infidelity. Each author takes a turn giving brutal expression to heartache endured in facing Gary's adultery and in subsequently working through adulterous betrayal. Movingly, each partner describes the process of looking at themselves, their marriage (before and after the infidelity), and the changes they wanted to make. Though the Shrivers present a strongly Christian perspective on dealing with adultery, their message is also pertinent to those outside the Christian faith community. Readers will appreciate their courage as well as the practical steps married couples can take to move through such a devastating experience and find forgiveness on the other side. This edition revises and updates a 2005 original edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unfaithful: Excellent Resource! September 3, 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've never read this author before and I have to say while I hated the circumstances that brought about my reading this book, I found the book itself very hopeful and encouraging. It chronicles another couples' journey and struggles in overcoming an affair. It's split into parts and sides (Example: It tells the wife's version of an event then it tells the husband's and so forth and so on). The only negative I had about it was it didn't always answer all my questions about how and what to do with certain areas of things, but I didn't really expect it to because my personal situation wasn't exactly the same as theirs and nobody's is so no other couple can really honestly tell you how to fix your own marriage. However, if there was to be a book out there that gave me the most hope and helped me understand that everything I was feeling and doing was normal and not psychotic, then this would be the book. Thanks to the Shrivers for their openness and honesty!

5.0 out of 5 stars ALL married couples should read this book! November 3, 2009
Format:Paperback
This book is a "must have" for every married couple's library. I would also recommend it for those who are engaged or thinking of marrying, because it offers great advice on how to place boundaries and hedges around your relationship.

Gary and Mona Shriver share their most heartbreaking moments, the steps that led their relationship into being vulnerable, and the long painful process that saved their marriage.

In the first chapter, (Revelation), the book opens with Gary's thoughts and emotions as he is driving home to confess to his wife that he's had an affair. This chapter was so raw and so emotional, I found myself choking back the sobs as I read about this couple's journey.

I admire the Shriver's willingness to be completely honest and open with this book about their life - it's a testimony of forgiveness, grace and restoration that we all can learn from.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing book January 14, 2010
Format:Paperback
This book is amazing. It is an honest book, written by a couple willing to share their struggles with other suffering couples. I am glad I read it because it gave me more insight than talking with a therapist. If you are dealing with adultery, you owe it to your relationship to give this book a try.
