While we have learned many lessons about great marriages from our
thousands of interviews with happily married couples around the
world, we have concluded that what you do in the early stages of

either agree to disagree or end it
New Answer - It definitely depends on the issues you disagree on,
how serious they are, and whether you can agree to disagree. My
experiences with organized religions have been minimal, and

Why Do People Cheat? - Dealing With Infidelity
Recent statistics estimate that approximately one-half of all
married men and women search for intimacy outside their marriage.
Note that these numbers do not include the many other relationships
where marriage is not involved but where there is still an
expectation of commitment. Regardless, it is evident there are
numerous instances of such behavior. Therefore, it may be
beneficial to examine this situation in more detail to determine
why it is so prevalent and how to handle it effectively. So why
would a married person or someone already in a committed
relationship seek physical or emotional companionship with another
person?
What Everybody Ought to Know About Aspergers and Marriage
Young love. It's so beautiful, so wonderful, it takes your
breath away. Like any other romantic couple, two adults who
are in love in an Asperger's relationship are on cloud nine when
they first meet. Reality sinks in once the emotional high
wears off, and if there are not some tools for navigating the
journey, Aspie-NT couples may find themselves at-risk.There are
many successful Aspie-Aspie marriages and Aspie-NT marriages.
For the purposes of this article, I am going to cover the subject
of Aspie-NT (one adult with Asperger's and one adult who is
Neurotypical).For every suc...
What to Do When an Affair Ends Your Marriage - Help Dealing With the Guilt
You don't go into a marriage planning to have an affair and hurt
your spouse in the deepest way possible, but it happens all too
often. In some cases an affair can highlight problems within a
marriage and you can come back together stronger then ever, but in
many other cases it is the final act that destroys the
relationship.
