Despite all the research about marriages failing
if couples complain, criticize, stonewall or show contempt, I don�t know any couples who don�t
do such things some (or most) of the time. But I have rarely seen an established first marriage
end in divorce without someone being unfaithful. (Our researchers fail to ask about infidelity,
since they tell me it is so nearly universal, it couldn�t possibly be relevant.) Affairs occur in good
marriages and bad, and wreck either.
