Monogamy vs. Infidelity: How to Affair Proof Your Marriage and Create Lasting Love
The parallel experiences of treating hundreds of couples over forty-seven years while at the same time learning how to love one woman well have taught me several enduring truths about marriage:   Marriage has never been, nor will it ever be a solution to loneliness. The “institution” of marriage doesn’t offer a quick and painless path to intimacy and love. Marriage is—if nothing else—a challenge: to your ego, your character, your values, your sense of entitlement, your theories about love and commitmentThere is no relationship more powerful, more aptly suited, and more perfectly designed to...
