jho48109:Remind your partner (and yourself) that you appreciate them! After you’ve been married for many, many years, that passionate kiss when your partner walks in the door can easily morph into a peck on the check that can then morph into an inability even to look up from your computer. Over the course of my 20-year marriage, there are times when I’ve felt my own husband and I were starting to become so familiar with each other that we were settling into a stultifying — albeit comfortable — routine. But there’s a real danger in that. Studies show that nearly half of men who have cheated say it was because of emotional dissatisfaction — and not sex. When men don’t feel connected or appreciated by their wives, they are vulnerable to the advances of any attractive woman who casts a lustful glance their way. And fellows, it works the other way as well.
Agree. But generally speaking, it is usually the wives that don't feel appreciated by their husbands, especially when the kids have grown up. After all, women tend to put on more hats than men nowadays. The bonding and communication tend to go towards the children first and husbands second priority when the kids are young. Many men lose out as women forge deep bond with the kids. And as the children become more and more independent, women switch their focus and demand more attention from the husbands. By this stage however, women tend to feel that their husband no longer can understand them as before.
