Save Your Marriage - Have an Affair
Marital "therapist" (using the term loosely) Andrew G. Marshall suggests a novel approach to building a stronger bond with your mate -- cheating.
He offers a few lame anecdotes to support his thesis.
In addition to cheating, Andrew has some other "first aid" tips for keeping your marriage strong. Let's review:
Have an affair with your partner. Psychologists at British Columbia and
Virginia universities discovered that we treat strangers better than our
partners.
-- Hey, I have a better idea. Make your relationship purely professional! Leave $100 on the nightstand every time you have sex.
Find an all-consuming joint project: renovate a house or start a
business.
-- You'll be so busy fighting, you won't have time for a divorce!
Why not undertake a challenge together, such as rock climbing or
parachuting from a plane?
-- Because maybe your spouse will have
a fatal "accident" and you'll finally be free. Make sure you take out a
life insurance policy beforehand!
But if none of the above work their marital magic, go have that affair. And when you get caught, simply say, "But I did it for us, honey!" and hand your spouse a copy of Andrew's article. That should do the trick.
