No one starts a marriage thinking that it will end in divorce. We all hope we have made a good decision with the person we choose to marry. It seems that everyone you talk to has come from a broken home or they have been divorced at least once. Here are some sad statistics on divorce in America:

• The divorce rate in America for first marriage is 41%


• The divorce rate in America for second marriage is 60%


• The divorce rate in America for third marriage is 73%

Everyone knows that keeping a marriage together is not an easy task. Some people get married too young; others are too selfish, while some couples just can't seem to work through the difficult problems they will face. Couples that have children together have a lower divorce rate, but this number is starting to increase even more. Currently about 66 percent of divorced couples do not have children. Sociologists have conducted studies that found that couples without children had a sense of loneliness and weariness in the marriage and the two individuals grew apart quickly.

If you have decided to stay with your spouse after an affair, here are some tips on how to move on with your marriage.

Tip # 1 - Stay Calm

If your spouse is telling you they had an affair and they ask for your forgiveness, do not react either way. Remain calm and allow yourself some time to take in the news you just received. This news usually ends a marriage so you need to take some time to truly sort out your feelings. Don't do something stupid like go out with your friends and then have an affair to get even with this person. If they are remorseful for what they did, acknowledge that they are in pain and wait until you are calm and collected to discuss your situation.
