We were at my sisters place yesterday for my niece birthday. I was looking at her stack of {K} Kerygma magazine and I’d like to share this article I found: How to Make Your Marriage Adultery-Proof (By: Vic and Ditas Espanol).
The Myths
Myth #1: Catholic or Christian couples are immune from infidelity.
Truth: Catholic or non-Catholic couples can succumb to the temptation to be unfaithful to one’s spouse. According to The Monogamy Myth by Peggy Vaughan, approximately 60% of husbands and 40% of wives will have an affair at some time in their marriage.Myth #2: Affairs occur after many years of marriage as a result of boredom.
Truth: Affairs are more likely to occur in the first two years of marriage than after 20 years. (ME: talaga?!)Myth #3: As long as you have a loving marriage you need not worry about an affair. Affairs occur only when there are martial or sexual problems.
Truth: Affairs can and do occur with loving, sexually functional couples. Not all affairs are sexual. It is possible to have an emotional affair. (Me: Yep!)Myth #4: Affairs are all about falling in love with someone else.
Truth: Affairs often have nothing to do with love but have a lot to do with meeting your personal emotional needs.
So there. I’ll post Part 2 later.
