What are the chances of my marriage surviving an affair? The latest research indicates that 2/3 of couples with affairs do not make it. When I look at that number, it is intimidating. I also realize that many lawyers and private investigators want that number high since it means more business. If you want to save your marriage, you can, but it will mean work. The odds are against you since modern society sees divorce and affairs linked together. Most of the divorces in response to affairs are not necessary. When you eliminate the private investigators and divorce lawyers, you dramatically improve the likelihood of surviving an affair.
One prerequisite to surviving an affair is that both parties need to make a conscious decision to not give up on each other for at least 18 months.
Taking such an action will provide you with a place to start.

An Australian travel agency conducted a survey of its travelers, who booked online and made some surprising discoveries. They found that 2/3 of the 1000 who booked were willing to have affairs overseas. The also discovered that women were not that far behind the men in considering illicit activities.
What does this information tell us? It tells us that Australians who book overseas flights online are more willing to take risks. It also tells me that many of these people know better, since they are waiting until they are overseas to have an affair. It tells me that the human nature of thinking that “it is okay if no one ever finds out” is still very rampant in some populations. It tells me that if you have a spouse who is a risk taker, you may want to look a little closer at their travel activities. Even in the states, when people travel to locations out of town, they act out in ways they would never do at home, thinking that “no one here knows me”. This kind of situation morality makes the likelihood of affairs greater than those who hold to values that do not change with situations.
