Adultery, Marital Affair or Extra Marital Affair is voluntary, consensual sexual intercourse or sexual activity by a married person with someone other than their legal spouse.
Adultery and the Law

Illicit Encounter
Since statistics show that adultery is one of the most common problems faced in marriages today, why are so many married couples giving up instead of fighting for their marriages? The consequences of adultery are devastating and hard to recover from but, given that it is so prevalent in our society should couples be heading straight for divorce court if they are faced with it?
We don’t like to think we can’t solve a problem alone. We are of the mind that if we work harder we can deal with the issues. What we don’t stop to consider is that, if you don’t have the skills needed to work through the problems it doesn’t matter how hard you work. A little humility, a little less faith in ourselves to handle it all and a willingness to admit to needing help would keep quite a few couples from becoming a victim of divorce.
It would be easy to blame our high rate of marital failure on things like not spending enough quality time together, allowing bitterness and resentment to build in our hearts and failing to keep communication lines open. There’s no end to books, articles and seminars that tell you how to improve these and many other aspects of your relationship. But while quality time, forgiveness and communication are vitally important to creating a happy marriage, if such things aren’t happening, it’s usually a sign of a much deeper problem. And until this problem is addressed, no amount of external behavior modification will work. |
