When Does Infidelity in Marriage Occur?

When Does Infidelity in Marriage Occur?

With infidelity a focus of media attention these past few days I’m seeing more information surface not only about men and affairs but also women and affairs.  Here are a couple of figures that might surprise you:  80% -  people who become addicted to an online affair, 45-55% – of   married women engage in extramarital sex at some time during their relationship, 90%  – of Americans  believe adultery is morally wrong.

While infidelity can occur at anytime in a relationship, there are certain times when it is more likely to occur than others. In addition, there are certain relationship factors which can dramatically increase the potential for infidelity.

Is it possible for men and women to safe guard their marriages from the betrayal of marriage infidelity?

Are marriages that last over 60 years something that we aren’t aware of any longer? I thought so until I read this article. ﾠSo what’s the secret to this marriage that has lasted 70 years?

As for any marriage advice, Hodson said he really doesn’t have any to share. “Gee whiz, I don’t know,” he said. “Let’s face it, there’s going to be ups and downs.” He said couples just need to work at it. It also doesn’t hurt if your spouse is handy in …

Not a man of many words Harry Hodson said “couples just need to work at it.”

"It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to the belief.  And once the belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen."

Claude M. Bristol (1891 – 1951) American author of "The Magic of Believing.

The opposite can happen too.

The repetition of negations or negative statements can create just as deep a belief and conviction.

Mentally keep track of the numbers of times per day you think neutral or negative things about your spouse.

"She doesn't really love me"  "He's very inconsiderate"

versus

"He really does everything he can for me and the family, he's a champ" or "What a loving person she is"

Count them and you'll see how it turns out.

If you are unhappy there are a lot more of the negations than the affirmations.

If you are happy then there are a lot more of the affirmations than the negations.

It's a mathematical certainty.

Get it?

Think it isn't as simple as I make it out to be? 

It is that simple, if you make a couple changes

Here's how to make a change and turn it around

Illicit affairs can be sparked or generated by the use of Facebook or other social networks. You must remember that once you have put something  online it is remembered forever, so it’s important to be even MORE careful and thoughtful in your judgement than when you are conversing live with a friend where you might be kidding around.

Also, remember that anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law and that no one has to you you, your Miranda Rights to use it. As a matter of fact, lawyers are using social networking sites to build their cases right at this moment.

ﾠ“According to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, 81 percent of the country’s top divorce attorneys say in the last five years, they’ve seen and used a surge of evidence that came for social networking sites.”

“What people have to say about themselves can be very significant in how you strategically plan  and work the case,” said Lawyer Wong.ﾠ

After counseling failed, Randy went straight to his divorce attorney. Seattle attorney Juliana Wong has had similar clients. “You can say goodbye to the days where you find lipstick on the color. It’s not that anymore; it’s these emails and text …

“And don’t think privacy settings will save you.”

Very few people will admit it, even to themselves.
So just between you and me, are you?
Are you tired or bored of being married?
Are you just politely "putting up with it" because it's the right thing to do?
Maybe the most convenient thing to do.
So let me say right away… there's nothing wrong with that.
Is there?
It's really your call.
It depends on whether you believe for… or hope for… something much better.
Your marriage relationship CAN be a lot better, you know.
You might not believe it, but it's true.
Thousands now have great marriages who never thought they could.
How?
They changed the way they think.
They changed the way they felt.
They changed the way they acted.
So it's up to you.
Same old humdrum… or something new.
