Our Healing from Affairs Retreat Was Fabulous!
“The Healing from Affairs Retreat was fabulous. Getting to know others who were experiencing the same feelings—or who had already begun healing—was validating and invaluable for me.
I believe the retreat was even more beneficial for my husband. He needed support too, and he needed to see that I wasn’t crazy and that my reactions were normal. Most importantly, he was given a roadmap for understanding my pain and rebuilding trust.
Thank you for providing the structure, support, and guidance we needed for our recovery.”

We Found Love Again
“When we attended the Healing from Affairs Retreat, our marriage was facing enormous challenges, including a child from the affair.
Today, we are still together, continuing to build our marriage and our future. The passage of time has helped, but more importantly, I have been able to show my wife through my actions that she is the most important person in the world to me.
We are so grateful that we moved beyond simply surviving infidelity to truly thriving again. We found love again, and we are looking forward to the future.
The Healing from Affairs Retreat was one of the best things that could have happened to us. We are deeply thankful for the guidance and support we received.”

One of the Best Decisions We Made
“Attending the Healing from Affairs Retreat was one of the best decisions we’ve made in our marriage.
As the spouse who chose to have an affair, I can honestly say it was also one of the most important decisions I’ve made since making one of the worst decisions of my life.
My wife still has healing to do, but I believe that day will come much sooner because of the things we learned and experienced during the retreat. The tools, conversations, and insights gave us a clearer path forward.
God has placed it in both of our hearts not to allow my affair to define us as a couple or as individuals.
Thank you for all you’ve done for us and our marriage.”
— J.S., Texas
Most Days Great
“The Healing from Affairs Retreat and the Beyond Affairs Podcast were invaluable to us during one of the hardest seasons of our lives. I honestly don’t think we would have made it through without them.
Today, my husband and I are doing well—most days great, and some maybe not so much. Just like all marriages.
Our communication has improved tremendously, and we still revisit the notes from the retreat from time to time. The experience helped us build a stronger foundation and reminded us that a healthy marriage requires ongoing intentionality.
When we think about how close we came to becoming a divided family, it makes us even more grateful for the relationship we have today.
Thank you for everything.”

For the First Time in a Long Time, I Felt Hope
“Thank you for such an amazing experience at the Healing from Affairs Retreat.
Before attending, I felt like life had dealt me one devastating blow after another. Along with my husband’s affair, our family had faced years of significant challenges and heartbreak. I realized during the retreat that I hadn’t experienced real joy in a very long time.
One of the most meaningful things Anne said to me was, ‘It seems you haven’t had a lot of joy in your life for a long time.’ That simple observation helped me feel truly seen.
Since the retreat, I have hope. I experienced joy again. My husband and I have rediscovered love and passion in our relationship, and we are building from that foundation.
Thank you for helping us see a path forward.”

Breakthrough Came When My Husband Realized How He Moved His Boundaries
“As strange as it may sound, we had a wonderful experience at the Healing From Affairs retreat.
We came looking for answers, healing, and understanding. We left with all three.
The weekend provided a safe, caring environment where we could begin making sense of what had happened to our marriage. One of the most important breakthroughs came when my husband realized how he had gradually moved his boundaries and blocked me out, creating the conditions that made the affair possible. Understanding that process was a powerful moment for both of us.
As the betrayed spouse, it was also incredibly validating to hear that I wasn’t the problem. The retreat helped us separate the causes of the affair from the struggles in our marriage and gave us a clearer understanding of what needed to happen for healing to occur.
The insights, tools, and practical examples throughout the weekend gave us hope and a roadmap for moving forward.
We are deeply grateful for the guidance, wisdom, and encouragement we received through Healing From Affairs.”

You Cannot Put a Price on Finding Hope & Happiness Again!
“Attending the Healing From Affairs retreat with my husband after his affair was one of the most meaningful steps in our recovery journey.
The weekend helped us better understand the affair, the impact it had on our marriage, and the practical steps needed to begin rebuilding trust and connection.
One of the most healing parts of the experience was realizing we were not alone. Hearing the stories of others who were facing similar struggles brought comfort and hope during a very difficult season.
The retreat provided both understanding and practical tools, but it also created a safe and caring environment where healing could begin.
We left feeling calmer, more hopeful, and better equipped for the road ahead.
You truly cannot put a price on finding hope and happiness again after an affair.”

Take Your Life Back Retreat Testimonials
I Got My Life Back
“When I registered for the Take Your Life Back Retreat, I thought it would help me answer one question:
Should I stay in my marriage or move on?
What I didn’t expect was how much healing I would experience personally.
During the retreat, I was able to release emotional baggage I had been carrying for many years. The practical exercises helped me in ways that counseling and self-help work never had before.
Before attending, I spent hours obsessing about my husband’s infidelity, worrying about the future, and wondering whether anyone would ever love me again. Today, I feel completely different.
I now believe I am going to be okay—with or without someone in my life.
I no longer panic about the future. I have been able to let go of much of my anger and focus on healing myself and being present for my son.
A close friend recently told me she sees a radiance in me that she has never seen before. She couldn’t believe the transformation.
The Take Your Life Back Retreat truly changed my life.”
— G.M., Montreal, Quebec
I Can Sing and Dance Again
“When I attended the Take Your Life Back Retreat, I was devastated, lost, and confused after discovering my husband’s affair. I had already read countless books on infidelity and healing, so I wasn’t sure there was much left for me to learn.
I was wrong.
The retreat provided powerful experiences, practical exercises, and meaningful connections with other women who truly understood what I was going through. The forgiveness work and self-care lessons were especially impactful for me.
One of the unexpected gifts was the friendships that formed. The support, encouragement, and sense of community were invaluable.
Most importantly, I left feeling free in a way I hadn’t felt for a very long time.
Amazingly, I found myself able to sing again. Even dance again.
Because of that weekend, I am experiencing healing, freedom, and joy. I can have fun again.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom, your faith, and your hearts with all of us.”
— Kasey, Maryland
Learning to Forgive My Husband’s Affair
“A week after returning home from the Take Your Life Back Retreat, I felt calmer and more at peace than I had since discovering my husband’s affair.
The retreat gave me practical tools for handling difficult thoughts and emotions, and the ongoing support from the coaches helped me through some very challenging moments after I returned home.
Perhaps most importantly, the experience helped me begin important conversations with my husband about healing, forgiveness, and rebuilding our marriage. He has since committed to attending the Healing from Affairs Retreat because he wants to understand what happened and do everything he can to repair the damage.
Your marriage is truly an inspiration. Your coaches are amazing. Thank you for helping me begin taking my life back.”
— Retreat Participant
I Found My Voice Again
“The Take Your Life Back retreat helped me realize that healing is possible, whether a marriage survives or not.
After discovering my husband’s long-term affair, I spent months trying to determine what I needed in order to heal and rebuild trust. Through the support, coaching, and guidance I received from Beyond Affairs, I learned the importance of healthy boundaries and began finding my voice again.
As difficult truths became clear, I realized my husband was unwilling to respect the boundaries necessary for healing. While that was painful to accept, I gained the strength and self-respect to make difficult decisions and stand up for myself.
The support I received allowed me to grieve, process my emotions, and move forward with greater confidence and hope.
I am deeply grateful for everything I learned through Take Your Life Back and Beyond Affairs. The progress I made during that season of my life changed me in ways I will always appreciate.”

Affair Recovery Coaching Testimonials
One of The Most Valuable Parts of Our Healing Journey
“Coaching through Beyond Affairs has been one of the most valuable parts of our recovery journey.
What helped me most was talking with someone who truly understood what I was experiencing. Having support from people who had walked this road themselves helped me put things into perspective and focus on what I could control.
One of the biggest lessons I learned was that because I was choosing to stay in my marriage, I also needed to do my own healing work. I began ‘acting my way into feelings’ rather than waiting for feelings to come first.
I had struggled with obsessive thoughts after the affair, but learning how to redirect my thinking and focus on healthier patterns has been life-changing.
Today, my husband and I are spending more time together, enjoying each other again, and building a stronger connection with our family. We still have things to work on, but we are in a good place and filled with hope for the future.
The coaching, support, and encouragement we received through Beyond Affairs made a tremendous difference in our healing.”
