Offering readers different perspectives on affairs, why they happen, how to avoid or resolve the situation, even words of wisdom to "the other", this guide is an invaluable aid in maintaining a lifelong relationship that is both healthy and happy.

This singular guide presents the straightforward facts on affairs, as well as advice to affairees and spouses on how to cope with them.
