Food for thought: Having an affair or relationship with someone other than your spouse or relationship partner always looks like a great idea before it is embarked upon, however the consequence is usually regret and ruining of people's lives and hearts.

Before you embark on an extramarital affair (for married couples) or serial dating (for singles) ask yourself how you would feel if you were the one at the receiving end of your actions.

If infidelity has already taken place, picture how you would feel being kept in the dark and being deceived by your partner about their faithfulness towards you.

When a disagreement or conflict erupts in a relationship or marriage, there is a tendency for the voice of one or both partners to be raised and in some instances, there is an actual shouting down of one partner by the other.

These behaviours are addressed in this podcast and ways to peacefully resolve troublesome issues between relationship and marriage partners are explored, which include working towards a shared understanding of the issues upsetting both parties.
