It's common that people are judged for having an affair, but rarely do we understand why the affair happened. 

Why do people have affairs? 

The emptiness of our lives

1. These people seemed to be wealthy and successful…but wealth and success does not satisfy the greater needs of our hearts and minds. 
2. If anything, success and wealth can make it more difficult to experience true fulfillment. 

The dullness of our marriages 

1. Nobody taught us how to be married. Like starting a business, we are all more likely to fail than do well. 
2. We don’t know how to change our dull, lifeless marriage, and it’s embarrassing to admit the need for change. 

We created a marriage assessment tool to help you evaluate the state of your marriage. Here is the link for the free assessment:  https://app.assessmentgenerator.com/assessment/17360
