I don't recall the author advocating infidelity. I think he did say marriage is about obligations instead of rights. We should think, for those of us who are married, what we owe our spouse rather than what we think is good for ourselves.

One infallible rule for a strong and successful marriage: Each partner strives to give 51% in every situation the marriage encounters.

Or in other words, a good marriage requires each partner to work at making it a good relationship. Without such a commitment from both husband and wife, the marriage will eventually fail.

Oh, yeah ... “failure” doesn’t always mean divorce.

Technically, polygamy isn’t a form of infidelity. If you are “faithful” to all of those to whom you are married, you are practicing fidelity.

Adultery is having sex with someone who is not your spouse.

This message is not brought to you by a wayward Mormon. :-)

Well said. We owe our spouse (both sides). Most of the time, that translates into what we want too.
