Can you ever regain trust?

A friend of mine informed me the other day that his wife of 6 years confessed to having an affair.
Of course his initial re-action has that he was done and he wanted a divorce.
After talking, crying and fighting for most of the night, they cam to the conclusion that they love each other and want to renew there commitment to one another.
It turns out that his Hobie of bowling once a week turned into a 4 night a week obsession. This left his wife at home alone to deal with there kids, the house and everything else that goes with being married with children.
So not having her needs met she develop a close friendship with a co-worker, which lead to a physical attraction. After sleeping with the other man. His wife felt such remorse and regret that she had to tell her husband what happen and how unhappy she was. All she wanted was to get back to what they were when they met.
This major event actually had the opposite effect on there relationship..A shock to the heart of the marriage if you will.
Don't get me wrong I don't believe that infidelity is ever an answer to marriage woos. But this story is a testament to love and how strong a bond to someone pull you though even the toughest of times.
What I hope you get from this is, treat your relationship with your lover as if it is the most expensive vase in the world and you have to carry it to the top of a mountain for all the world to see. Protect and Cherish the ones you love and don't take them for granted.
Thanks for reading.
