In this episode, we break down the three most common predictors of infidelity-not to create fear, but to give couples wisdom, clarity and practical tools to protect their marriage before cracks start to form. Infidelity rarely begins with a dramatic moment; it almost always starts with the little foxes that go unnoticed. Join us as we break down these different areas and provide solutions to prevent infidelity in your marriage.
