While it is entirely possible to have a relationship thrive after an instance of marital infidelity, it is not easy. If you are trying to save your marriage after you have had an affair, you have to prioritize your relationship and make your spouse your first priority.  Your spouse needs to know that you are sorry, remorseful, and you want your marriage to work. You must begin this process by being responsible and compassionate to your betrayed partner. Be empathic and work to understand the hurt they have suffered. Healing your relationship and putting your marriage back on track will require that you restore the trust, respect, and the friendship that you once had. As the cheating spouse, you must examine how your actions have created your current situation, but your spouse, even as the injured party must also look at the ways they may have contributed to the problem. But working together as a team is the key to recreating a happy marriage. It is not easy, and it will take time, but when you have committed to work together to reestablish a future together, it is possible to save your marriage from the pain of an affair. 

Before you file for divorce, try couples counseling to see if you can save your marriage.
