Ladies, Nine Surefire (but Simple) Ways to Affair-proof Your Marriage

I know, I know. It seems canned and unrealistic. After all, “you don't know what I've been through.” True. But I do know men because I am one. Practice most or all of these regularly and it will be extremely difficult for your man to want (or more importantly, need) other women.

1. First, if you've been “fantasizing” about what it would be like being married to someone else more [fill in the blank], forget it. That person brings just as much “baggage” into the marriage as the current one (and you then bring your own “failed relationship” baggage from this marriage. It's probably a good idea to trash your Harlequin Romance novels. I have yet to see the good those novels can bring to a relationship.
2. Forget trying to change your guy. Some ladies can pull it off; most can't. Sure, there are some external habits that can change but character change takes a lot of work and you end up getting frustrated by it.
3. Let him know you're thinking about him throughout the day. A phone call. An email. A letter addressed to his office. A small note in his wallet. Surprise him and drop by to take him out to lunch. Be creative.
4. Smile when you're around him. Smile when you're talking to him on the phone. Don't be afraid to laugh around him.
5. Thank him for all that he does for you. Make a list and be ready to list some of those items. Be grateful for him.
6. Talk favorably about him around your friends. On the flip side, be careful not to get into a gripe session about him when you're around those same people. Don't ever share with those friends your sexual experiences with him. There's no need and it undermines your relationship with him. Keep it to yourself and let the others wonder what he's like.
7. Prepare his favorite meal once a week. Don't know it? Ask him. When he asks why, “just because” is sufficient enough.
8. Don't ever give him a reason to be suspicious. He may be that way on his own; just don't give him a reason (having lunch with a man from the office - alone - when several others could have easily come along).
9. Lastly, tell him you love him. Often. Regularly. Daily. When you don't want anything from him. When he leasts expects it.

The amazing part of that list is that none of it was explicitly about meeting his sexual needs. Ladies, do those things and he will be a happier man.
