The fact of the matter is, when two people are intimitely involved in one another's lives, both the urge to cheat and the ability to do so without immediately keying off the partner is hugely diminished.

I have been married twice, and probably will never do so again. I have learned, however, that in each there was a point where I began to "take it for granted."

No one person can try hard enough for both, but at the same time as long as both try and know the other one is trying as well...It is possible to avoid becoming a piece of this sad statistic.

Correct. It takes work from both sides. I was married once.. it lasted 35 years until my wife succumbed to cancer. We had some rocky times, but were always able to work together to keep it alive. The divorce rate is very much a product of our society in which no one has to work for what they want, whether it is marriage, or wealth.

It appears to me that eventually all partners start to look at someone else, but how do you stop those thoughts, is it just because it's wrong? What about people that do not have those morals and ethics? More and more people are losing morality. This, in my opinion, is why more people(especially women) are cheating.
