I'm not going to give out the website that provides the nonsense I am about to discuss but you should know how crazy our culture is getting to be when it comes to feeding momentary individual happiness.
When I read this story in a popular magazine, I thought it was a joke-- a website dedicated to helping married couples cheat. Yes, cheat! And here is the kicker. The end goal is to help save marriages by making cheating discrete. Sadly, this is not a joke.
Here is their tag line. "Life is short. Have an affair." What they provide is a way for a spouse to cheat discretely. They believe this strategy helps strengthen marriages. Their mental status according to Dr. Linda--psychotic, completely out of touch with reality.
Affairs do not help marriages or families. They are damaging and a breaking of the marital covenant. Marriage is not about your momentary happiness. It is about an unbreakable promise come good or bad, ease or difficulty. Never have I seen an affair help a marriage get better. And I've been doing marriage therapy for 30 years. Can a couple strengthen their relationship after an affair. Yes, but the scars remain and the damage is done. Affairs are never a solution to an ailing marriage. This "service" is nothing more than an excuse to make money off of people who need real help examining their intimacy issues and getting at the cause of their discontent. Instead, the service feeds the problem and adds insult to injury.
