Why would powerful men like General David Petraeus<\/strong> cheat and risk so much? We are often puzzled when famous men who seem to have it all, like public acclaim, professional success, and a loving family, throw away their career, marriage, and reputation by having an affair. Ironically, these affairs rarely turn into long-lasting relationships. Fear of infidelity plagues many marriages today.<\/p>\n

Past President of the International Association for Relationship Research, she will give us some important insights into keeping a marriage safe and healthy.<\/p>\n
