Over the years cases of infidelity have been on the increase.

While cheating is a deal breaker for some people, for some it is not. Some couples have been able to overcome such incidents and have thriving marriages.

The truth is, it is not easy to deal with infidelity.

Here are tips on how to gain trust after you are caught cheating according to Sam West.

1. Be genuinely remorseful

Say you are sorry and mean it. Do not feel entitled to be forgiven.

2. Genuinely change your habits

Cheating affects the dynamics of a relationship. For things to work, it is important to change your habits.This might include blocking and cutting ties with the person you cheated with.

It might also include changing jobs among other things.

3. Be willing to give closure

Ever heard the joke that women never forget stuff? Well in this case it is true.

Be willing to give your partner the answers they need to find closure when the need arises.

Such questions might come a month, day, or years after the cheating incident.

If asked about the cheating incident, do not act angry, especially if you want your spouse to forgive you.

4. Give it time

Healing is a process, give it time. Do not rush your partner to 'heal'.

5. Pray together

Funny as it may sound, it is important to pray as a couple. This can be done daily or weekly.
