need to talk to someone else about your marriage, be sure that person is a

friend of the marriage. If the friend disparages marriage, respond with

something positive about your own relationship.

reunion, invite your partner to come along. If you value your marriage, think

twice about having lunch with an old flame.

6. Don’t go over the line when you’re On-Line with Internet friends. Discuss your

online friendships with your partner and show him/her your e-mail if he/she is

interested. Invite your partner to join in your correspondence so your Internet

friend won’t get any wrong ideas. Don’t exchange sexual fantasies online.

7. Make sure your social network is supportive of your marriage. Surround

yourself with friends who are happily married and who don’t believe in fooling

around.
