That may sound a bit of a tough statement, but in real life if your relationship doesn't seem like a love affair then there's a chance there will be another person who will intrude. Everyone should have love in their marriage, there's no need to live without love. But if each one in the marriage starts to take the other for granted then they will be shocked when they find out about their partner moving outside of the marriage.
Most partners don't just decide to go have an affair, what happens is they are feeling a need for something in them that is not being satisfied. There may not be any awareness on their part that they are feeling this need, that is until another person starts to satisfy that part. This is where the affair starts, something in the heart then manifests physically.
So the key to hanging onto your spouse is giving them what they need, physical love, emotional support, and compassion. It is extremely important to have a love affair with your spouse; to be their best friend, their source of strength and comfort, and the one that they can turn to in a crisis. It is communication and romance that will help keep your spouse from straying. Find out what your spouse needs and give it to them. Tell them what you need and don't settle for anything less than a love affair.
