Of course an affair is just an outward expression of an inward
discontentment with the marriage relationship. Hindsight is one thing,
but if we can be more pro-active in making ourselves irresistible to
our mates, we will have discovered the secret of making our most
important relationship on earth affair-proof!

There are basic, proven steps we can all take to recapture the
feelings that most of us start out with in our marriages. It takes
work and commitment, but these are steps that can turn most
problematic relationships around.

We don't want to hear, of course, that it starts with ourselves, not
our spouses. If I am willing to to do the work of discovering what
brings my spouse joy, fulfillment, peace, validation, security, etc.,
and then impliment these things, I will see a dynamic change begin to
take place.

I think the bottom line is: how selfless am I willing to become for
the sake of my marriage? One will usually discover that we get what we
need by giving, not by taking or demanding.

I found this cute little article that expands a bit more on what I
mean... You can check it out here:
