Widen the lens on marriage and life’s complexities From page 13
not to generalize. There are more differences among men and among women than between them. Not all men are tempted to engage in an affair. The suggestion that some men have a higher sex drive and more difficulty staying faithful may well be true.

However, when a man makes a commitment to marriage (however unnatural the institution) he is committing to controlling his sex drive. There are important principles and values at play here. Does it not make sense to presume that something significant is askew in the world of an individual who allows sexual pleasure to override integrity and deception to erode trust?
Stepping back and widening the lens on not only the marriage but on the complexities in the lives of the people involved remains, in my view, the most mature approach.
