What's the issue?  Fidelity. Period.

It's what almost every woman wants and is definitely a fundamental issue between a husband and a wife.  Unfortunately, infidelity is a major problem in our society.   Who's at fault? And can infidelity be prevented?

Author M. Gary Neuman, a family counselor is the creator of 2 x 2 Intensive--an innovative approach to couples therapy.  Conducting a study of 200 husbands, he interviewed 100 physical cheaters and 100 faithful non-cheaters.  His findings found that the number one reason why men cheat is "emotional dissatisfaction" (48%)--participants cited lack of appreciativeness, feeling unwanted, or being stuck in a "no-win situation."  Neuman also noted:M. Gary Neuman, M.S., LMHC

• 8% of cheating husbands mentioned sexual dissatisfaction as a reason
• 11% cited lack of communication
• 10% said my wife and I no longer share the same values
• 12% said my wife often loses her temper

Infidelity clues include your husband spending more time away from home (55%), infrequent sex (34%), lack of personal contact (cell phone call) (29%), criticism from him rises (25%), increased fights initiated by him (20%).  Another hint offered by Neuman, most cheating occurs with friends, not one-night stands.

A book which will empower women, The Truth About Cheating offers advice from the author on cheating prevention.  The book includes practical strategies for married women that will prevent infidelity and foster a faithful marriage.
