What happens when financial secrets threaten to destroy your marriage? For Shayna, author of "Rebuilding a Marriage," the discovery that her husband had been making financial decisions without her knowledge became a pivotal moment that could have ended their relationship. Instead, it became the catalyst for profound healing and transformation.

Shayna's journey begins with a common scenario: as a stay-at-home mom caring for their daughter, she gladly handed over financial responsibilities to her husband, who ran a successful real estate company. With her history of depression and anxiety worsening, she "buried her head in the sand" about money matters while her husband shouldered increasing burdens alone, attempting to protect her from additional stress. When financial problems finally surfaced through an unexpected conversation with her father, Shaina faced a choice that many betrayed spouses confront: walk away or rebuild.

Despite the betrayal of trust, Shayna chose to honor her wedding vows—"in sickness and health, for richer or poorer"—and work toward reconciliation. Her path included a temporary separation, intensive therapy, and ultimately, the writing of a book to process her experience and help others facing similar challenges. The cornerstone of their healing became weekly family meetings where financial transparency replaced secrecy, and shared responsibility replaced isolation.

Shayna's candid reflections reveal an important truth about marriage: it's rarely a perfect 50-50 split. Some days, one partner might only have 20% to give, requiring the other to contribute 80%. This fluid partnership, built on communication and shared goals, forms the foundation of rebuilding trust after betrayal. For anyone struggling with financial infidelity or communication breakdown in marriage, Shaina's story offers both practical strategies and the priceless gift of hope that yes, your relationship can survive and even thrive after betrayal.
