If you've ever flirted with the idea of having an affair, then
you need to read this short email.
A study of 4200 executives who had an affair revealed that
only 3% of them married the person with whom they had the affair.
3%!
An affair is a symptom of an unhealthy marriage.
So if you've thought about having an affair, then stop
whatever you're doing this weekend and take some time
to look for the underlying cause so you can heal your marriage.
Use these feelings to make things better not worse.
People who have affairs, get divorced, and remarry, when
surveyed within 3-5 years of their divorce and remarriage,
report that they're not any happier than they were before.
And get this: Many of them are even less happy.
Now I know there are people who have divorced and remarried
who are now in a healthy and happier relationship.
The last thing I would ever want you to think or feel is that I'm
being unkind, unloving or unaccepting of anyone who decided
to get a divorce and remarry.
Life happens, I know, and I want you to know that love you
no matter what.
But if you, or someone you know, is flirting with the idea of
having an affair because he/she is in an unhappy, unfulfilling,
and frustrating marriage, please, please encourage them to
hang in there.
In fact, couples who decide to stay together and work
through their problems - even affairs - when surveyed
within five years of their decision to stay together, report
being happier than they ever could have imagined.
There is nothing that Gayle and I want more than for
you to be madly in love for the rest of your life with
your spouse.
You can have the marriage of your dreams and the
happiness you long for.
In fact, in a few weeks we are releasing a brand new
Mad About Marriage six-week course to help you
have the marriage you've always wanted. So stay
tuned because there is more to come!
Until next week, this is Mike & Gayle Tucker and we
want you to be mad about marriage!
