Spouses are not all perfect.
They have their flaws and can be tempted at times to get into relationships outside their marriage.
There are those who can afford to cheat even amidst a stable relationship.
Marriage counselors strongly believe there are reasons behind a person's infidelity.
While some don't cheat forever and are capable of changing for the better, the others just can't seem to return to the right path.
In short, they become addicted to getting into extramarital affairs.
People who often cheat are described as having a high self confidence, no self control and are not capable of feeling remorse.
On the other hand, cheaters capable of changing for good are normal people who just strayed from their relationship due to certain factors.
These include unhappiness in their marriage, failure of their spouse to meet their needs and poor communication between each other.
Therapists point out that an extramarital affair does not happen by chance.
There are reasons behind the act and it's a sign that the marriage is experiencing rough waters.
But there's hope.
What matters is you know the signs if the person can or cannot change.
As a spouse, you should take action to save your marriage if you see there's a chance.
It's never too late to take the steps to keep your relationship intact.
Giving up easily should not be your first choice.
A spouse who has cheated but who can go back to his or her partner usually does not have any character problem.
The person may also feel a certain level of pain over his act and may even regret doing it.
There's also the willingness to seek professional help either as a couple or individually to save the marriage and prevent the same act from recurring.
If you observe that your partner no longer keeps his mobile phone from you and hides when talking on the phone, he or she might be willing to change.
The same is true with emails.
If your spouse shows them to you and is no longer defensive, there's a strong possibility that he or she is willing to make peace and keep your marriage.
Accepting his infidelity and acknowledging that it was not right is another strong sign that your partner wants to change his ways and save his marital relationship.
It's never easy to accept the act, particularly for the men, but when your spouse does this, you should appreciate his gesture.
You may not easily trust him or her back but if you're committed to your marriage, then you need to open your heart and mind.
On the one hand, you may need to seek the help of a marriage therapist on your own if your other half shows certain signs.
These include the lack of remorse on his part, keeping his mobile phone, emails and text messages from you and addiction to sex.
Other signs are the lack of willingness to seek counseling and constantly giving excuses.
If you've done your best to help your partner in overcoming his infidelity and yet the cheating goes on with no signs of changing for the better, it may be time to quit your marriage.
Not everyone is a saint and one's patience has its limits.
