Guidelines For Living

When a friend of many years became involved in an affair, Annette Lawson began asking, "Why do people walk out on good marriages for someone who is totally different from themselves and the kind of a person they would live the rest of their lives with?"  Finding answers to that question led to more than a decade of exhaustive research.  When this sociologist was asked, "What advice would you give to someone contemplating an affair?" she replied, "One thing that hasn't changed about adultery is the danger.  It really is a risky undertaking that can leave people's lives in ruins."
