Couples may assume that they are monogamous, but never discuss exactly what the monogamy agreement means to them. After infidelity, relationships can become strained, a loss of romance and intimacy can occur as both partners lose trust and faith in each other. The New Monogamy solutions for couples struggling to stay together after infidelity, whereby couples make these implicit assumptions and agreements explicit so that each partner knows exactly what is expected of them and what they can expect from their partner. The new monogamy contract is an explicit relationship agreement created after the affair that allows each partner to openly, honestly, and safely share their desires, expectations, and limitations. The book first helps couples rebuild trust after the affair, then engages in a series of Imago dialogues based on questions about what each partner really wants in the relationship, not what you think you should want or what a partner wants you to want. After an affair, it's impossible to go back to the way the relationship was before, but this book offers the chance for a new beginning.
