While I certainly think that should be the goal of all marriages, experience has taught that sometimes things aren't that simple.

I wouldn't call it a strong marriage. I would call it a very dishonest marriage.

I agree with Christina. How can someone say they have a strong marriage, but yet they don't respect their spouse or children enough to live an honest life?

To make it worse, when these people get caught in affairs they think THEY are the victim...even though they are the ones who have lied to everyone involved.

Default Are you kidding??

LOL, that is a good one. Well, how about being honest to your spouse and letting him know about your extra curricular sexual liasions. That is a sure fire way of knowing the 'strength' of your marriage ...haha.

The person you had responded to never said the other person shouldn't be able to have their own beliefs. They merely stated that they disagreed due to their religious beliefs.

So basically, what was the point you were trying to make?

I am assuming by successful that you mean "got away with cheating without being caught"?

I think we all have had opportunities present themselves but the truly successful people are the ones that remain true to their word.

Totally what I was thinking......

Unless she's into an open marriage without his knowledge, it is quite possible.
