Explosive fights after infidelity are not a communication problem—they’re a trauma response. If every conversation turns into an argument, shutdown, or emotional blowup, this episode explains why—and how to stop it.

After an affair or sexual betrayal, many couples find themselves stuck in high-conflict cycles that feel impossible to control. Small triggers turn into massive arguments. Pain gets weaponized. Trust erodes further. And instead of healing, the marriage stays in survival mode.

In this episode, betrayal-trauma and marriage recovery specialist Lisa Limehouse breaks down why explosive fights happen after infidelity and shares 3 research-backed, Scripture-anchored ways to de-escalate conflict and rebuild emotional safety—without avoiding hard conversations or suppressing truth.

You’ll learn:

• Why your brain and nervous system are driving post-infidelity fights

• How trauma flooding shuts down empathy, logic, and repair

• Why “talking it out” often makes things worse after betrayal

• 3 practical steps to stop explosive arguments and create emotional safety

• How biblical wisdom and neuroscience align in the healing process

• What must be in place before trust and connection can actually return

This episode is for: ✔️ Betrayed spouses who feel constantly triggered or emotionally overwhelmed ✔️ Unfaithful spouses who want to repair but feel attacked or defensive ✔️ Couples who want restoration but are stuck in chaos and conflict

Lisa also explains why stopping the fights is not optional if you want real healing—and how safety, not intensity, is the foundation for reconciliation.

If you’re realizing that love alone isn’t enough and you need structure, guidance, and a trauma-informed, Christ-centered path forward, learn more about Marriage Redesigned™, Lisa’s proven couples recovery program, at lisalimehouse.com.

Healing doesn’t begin with winning arguments. It begins with emotional safety.
