Affair-Proof Marriages Affair-proofing a marriage cannot be done if couples hide their heads in the sand. Some spouses believe that their spouse is the exception or “different”, and would never take part in an affair despite unmet needs may receive a devastating shock one day (Harley, 2011, p. 20). The reality is that no marriage is beyond penetration (Shriver & Shriver, 2009, p. 101). According to Gary and Mona Shriver (2009), “The self-assurance that this is one area we could never fall into…

Adultery, As Common as it has Ever Been Adultery has been around as long as monogamy, lies and ignoring the skeletons in the closet. This is how I found out that my Poppa was mere mortal with secrets. Before the age of Kennedy’s, adultery was reality but not talked about, not on the radio and never on television.

This is probably because what might be considered as infidelity will vary from one couple to another. For instance, some couple might define infidelity in the context of…

In today’s society, where the divorce rates are at fifty percent, infidelity plays a major role. The question I asked for my research was as follows: who do you think cheats more and why?

I asked people at my high school to take it and ended with 40 response - 23 males and 17 females. A theory that supports infidelity is conflict theory. Conflict theory shows that…

I wanted to recap on the gifts of imperfection because they taught me many lessons while reading this book.

Personally, I tend to be a person who seeks to please and receive approval from others in order to feel good enough at time. Therefore, I really don’t allow myself to be vulnerable in certain circumstances because I don’t know how others will react to it. This has caused me to…

CAUSES OF DIVORCE Nowadays divorcing is common, and it is not as startling or unpredictable as it used to be. According to American Psychologist Association, about half of American marriages in 2015 end in divorce. To what cause can this epidemic be linked to? American studies and research attribute, but do not limit, the cause of divorce to lack of commitment, infidelity, and abuse. These being only a minority of the multitudes of causes; along with knowing that those who have gone through…

In Othello, the reader is introduced to infidelity in the ancient Italy once again proving there is nothing new in this world. It is clear this was written in a patriarchal society, because the story has the message women will commit adultery and man will too but that’s not big deal. Almost three years ago, The National Health and Social Life Survey found that 4% of married men, 16% of cohabiting men, and 37% of dating men engaged in acts of sexual infidelity compared to 1% of married women, 8%…
