Infidelity

This sharply-written look at marriage as it really exists today is the graddaddy of all contemporary books about infidelity. This is the first popular book in which the author breaks down infidelity into its many facets --social, emotional, psychological -- and raises the probability that good marriages often have helthy doses of infidelity involved. Far from being a textbook or a tract, INFIDELITY ahows how modern husbands and wives can use their different needxs and contributions to make a harmonious marriage. The author does not downplay the importance of sexual infidelity, but rather casts it in its own seoarate category. What amazes me is the author's peception that the current notion that married couples should be all things to one another exclusively is short-sighted and impractical. His suggestions about periodic reviews of the marriage -- and possibkle readjustment of the rules -- breathe life intoo what was a life of monogamous monotony. The author hold a very non-judgemental view of the role of sex in and out of marriage, and it not afraid to step on some toes. This will reinforce a healtghy, happy marriage and offer some suggestions to repaair a sagging union.
