There are no guarantees
that you or your spouse will
never cheat, but you can do
your best to inoculate
yourself against infidelity by
plugging into your marriage.
1. Turn toward your partner,
not away.
If you have problems within
your relationship, then you
fix them within your
relationship. You never fix a
problem by turning to
someone outside the
relationship; all that does is
create more problems.
2. If you want to have a
good partner, be a good
partner.
You can’t control anyone but
yourself. Put 100 percent
into your marriage, be
attentive, and you will reap
huge rewards in return.
3. Work on your marriage
every day, not just during
the bad times.
It’s hard to do fire
prevention when the house
is ablaze. Wake up each day
and ask yourself, “What can I
do today that will make my
marriage better?” Make a
plan for how both you and
your spouse can contribute
positively to your union and
work together to keep your
marriage on track. Don’t get
complacent.
4. Get your marriage out of a
rut.
Do you and your spouse do
the same routine over and
over? Do you find yourself
mindlessly going through
each day? Bored people are
boring. Find a passion, get
energized, and make time
together to rediscover the
love and commitment you
have for one another. If
you’ve gotten off track, it’s
never too late to
renegoatiate a new plan that
works for both of you and
helps get you to a better
place.
5. Don’t compare your reality
to an unattainable fantasy.
It is unfair to compare a
fantasy relationship to one
you’ve been in for years
where there are noses to
wipe, bills to pay and a
house to run. That is a
ridiculous comparison. The
grass is not always greener
on the other side! Don’t
forget that there’s a
difference between falling in
love and being in love. You
can’t expect a love that
grows to be like it was on
the first date. Also, don’t play
games in your head. It’s a
short step from thought to
action.
6. Take care of yourself.
Eat healthy and exercise to
feel your best and so you
can take pride in your
appearance. When you feel
good about yourself, your
self-confidence will radiate,
and your spouse will notice.
It is also important that your
spouse do the same.
