Reseña del libro "The Cost of Betrayal (en Inglés)"
What if the greatest threat to your marriage isn't what happens-but what you stop noticing? Betrayal rarely arrives announced. It seeps in through silence, secrecy, and the slow erosion of emotional connection-long before a single physical act occurs.The Cost of Betrayal is a clear-eyed examination of how marriages fracture and what it takes to rebuild them. Drawing on real patterns of betrayed spouses, unfaithful partners, and families in crisis, Joseph A. Ortega traces the anatomy of infidelity from its quiet beginnings through its devastating consequences to the demanding work of genuine restoration.This book doesn't offer easy forgiveness or quick fixes. It offers something more valuable: the truth about what betrayal does to the human heart, the body, and the family system-and the specific, daily practices that can prevent it or heal it. Inside, you'll discover: -Why emotional affairs often wound more deeply than physical ones-The hidden signs of marital erosion most couples miss-How betrayal trauma rewires the nervous system-and why time alone doesn't heal it-The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation (and why conflating them causes further harm)-Practical boundaries, communication exercises, and accountability structures that protect marriages before they break-When to fight for restoration and when to walk away with integrity-Composite case studies, a discussion guide, a glossary, and a self-assessment toolWhether you're seeking to safeguard a healthy marriage, recovering from betrayal, or supporting someone who is, The Cost of Betrayal provides the clarity, compassion, and concrete guidance that crisis demands."Not a book about blame, but about responsibility-taken with clear eyes and a steady heart."
