You Want to Get Married, But Your Partner Doesn't
I remember my last serious relationship. It was with a guy who had been dating me for years, and it was one of those relationships that everyone felt was going to go the distance. Like many people, I was really looking forward to being married to a man I thought loved me.

Often, couples long to come closer to one another, to know one another intimately and intrinsically, but often they do not know the ways to bring one another closer together.

Find Another Pond
Dating is supposed to be fun but somehow we’ve turned it into a stressful and frustrating event. Have you noticed a pattern? Are you stuck with the same type of person over and over again expecting something different? Have you given up hope on finding love? Well maybe it is time to fish in another pond.

Asking and Explaining
We know that infidelity often results in breakups, divorces and social stigmatization. Western society has frowned upon straying from one’s intimate partner, from the widespread reproach of public figures such as former president Bill Clinton, presidential hopeful John Edwards, actress Kristen Stewart, and professional golfer Tiger Woods, among others.

Further, cheating may be motivated by fulfillment of needs, the desire for self-growth, and different personality types.
