Marriage counseling expert Nancy Wasson, Ph.D. states that the long-term success of many marriages may largely depend on how the partners handle conflict within the relationship.

Wasson and her husband Lee Hefner have created a free short Internet video designed to help partners lessen the risk of an affair, marriage separation and eventual divorce resulting from repeated heated arguments in a relationship.

\”Our movie Seasons of Love is intended to inspire and encourage people to have more self awareness in how they respond to their partner during conflict in a relationship,\” says Dr. Wasson.

Why do some single women date married men? After all, relationships with unavailable partners usually result in heartbreak. Most of the men never leave their wives, and the ones who do are no bargain: They\’re the type of guys who cheat on their wives.

But women who date married men know this from the beginning. So what\’s the payoff for getting involved with one?

She is attracted to him because he\’s already involved with somebody else. In many cases, the Other Woman wouldn\’t be turned on by the guy if he wasn\’t. The fact that he\’s \”taken\” is proof of his desirability. The fact that another woman\’s husband wants her is proof of hers.
