For the purposes of this study, the researcher defines resilience as the ability to adapt to harsh or difficult situations and environments, the willingness to engage in future situations and relationships rather than avoid them, and the ability to thrive whatever the situation or environment (Werner-Wilson, Zimmerman & Whalen 2000). For example, many demonstrate strength by helping other people, drawing attention to the problem, reconnecting with others, learning to trust again, accepting painful feelings and growing from them. The current study used by the researchers was based on relational cultural theory to ensure empowerment and empathy in the data collected. The collected review focused entirely on men's experience of sexual violence. Participants were recruited to meet the following criteria: 1. Adult male 2. Experienced childhood sexual abuse 3. Self-reported being resilient to childhood sexual abuse 4. Married or in a committed relationship 5. Free from significant mental health problems . (Hays & Singh, 2012) Due to the strict criteria only five couples were approved: Mike and Amy, James and Delia, Doug and Donna, Steve and Ali, and Peter and Valerie. Participants were interviewed individually and with their partner for approximately 90 minutes.
