(Replay) Neuroticism and IQ, Creating habits, Saving a post-affair marriage

Has this ever been studied? 2. What are the uses and limits of trying to create habits? For example, I often try to establish patterns of doing the dishes before bed, going to bed early, showering early during the day, cleaning regularly and the like, but it inevitably falls apart like someone coming off a diet.

My husband had an affair last year, but we are slowly working through things ourselves and taking steps to save our marriage for our children. 1.
