What Affair Healing resources do you value most?
This survey is now CLOSED. Here are some of the insights gained from the survey. —Tim Tedder, June 7, 2026
Survey Responses
Of the 858 emails sent to those who opted in to our newsletter list, 37 responded to the survey request (plus 7 more responses from web visitors). That 4.3% response rate is higher than our typical engagement.
Key Takeaways
High Engagement with Digital Content: The most frequently used resources are the Podcast (40 users), the Weekly Newsletter (37 users), and the AffairHealing.com Website (33 users). These platforms serve as the primary touchpoints for the community.
Consistently Positive Sentiment: All resources received positive average ratings on a scale from -2 (Strongly Disagree) to 2 (Strongly Agree). The AffairHealing.com Website and Coaching Sessions received the highest value ratings, with averages of 1.62 and 1.53, respectively.
Long-term Impact and Appreciation: Qualitative feedback indicates that these resources have been "critical components" for couples even 10 years post-discovery. Users specifically praised the coaching sessions and the podcast for providing clarity during difficult times.
Average Value Rating by Resource: While the Website and Coaching are highly valued, all resources maintain a strong positive standing.
User Feedback Highlights: Out of 51 respondents, 26 provided additional comments. Common themes include: *Gratitude for Support:* Many users expressed deep gratitude for the help provided during their recovery journey (e.g., "I will never be able to thank you and your team enough").
Content Preferences: Some users suggested "short clip videos" for easier sharing and consumption, while others noted that the newsletter format can sometimes feel "overwhelming" with multiple links.
Niche Needs: There is interest in more content specifically for spouses whose partners do not want to reconcile. The resources appear highly effective, with the website and coaching sessions standing out as particularly impactful for those who use them.
Considerations & Changes
The 5-year “break” I took from creating new content (from late 2019 through 2024) led to a significant decline in user engagement with Affair Healing resources, including the website. In the spring of 2025, I redesigned the website and started production on an all-new season of The Affair Recovery Room podcast. During this past year, user numbers have increased moderately, but user engagement (user responses to requests for action or response) has remained extremely low. To be honest, it’s humbling to see only 51 responses from a newsletter and website that used to engage so many more people before the break in 2019.
I will implement changes in the coming months, informed by the results of this survey and observation of user patterns. These changes will be spelled out in more detail for newsletter subscribers in an upcoming newsletter. The newest change—the Resource Finder—has already been implemented to provide easier access to online resources, as requested by some survey participants.
