Marriage is one of the greatest social institutions in life. It ought to be treated with a lot of respect if not love since it is the cornerstone of every happy family. If the family background is good it offers a comfort base where social problems are solved or gotten rid of even for generations to come. All these is possible if the marriage spouses avoid some of the known marriage problems. Infidelity is one of the unforgivable sins in marriage. A cheating spouse is selfish and one who allows the third party to dictate upon his/her family's happiness. Reason's why spouses cheat is because they are looking for something which is not offered in their marriage.

Among the reasons why spouses cheat on their partners is for revenge purposes. Sometimes the pain you go through is too much you cannot express it you can only make the other person feel it to understand it. Gone are the days when it was a wonder to hear of a woman cheating. Nowadays it does not even raise an eyebrow. Suffering married women are so much tormented by unfaithful sagas from their husbands. Among them is Hillary Clinton who was cheated upon by his famous husband Bill Clinton twice. Nowadays when a woman is not happy with the kind of relationship in their marriage she sorts herself out. Being lonely is not an option.

She does not have to go venting to her female friends like a while back. She secretly opens a private e-mail account, visits all the dating sites and enters chat rooms to search for emotional friends. Their are very many web sites for cheating wives and cheating husbands where they effortlessly hook up with a mate. They find refuge in such cyberspace facilities and when you are out cheating she is beating at your own game in without leaving the house. She only needs to sit on the computer and all the loneliness and bitterness is gone. You will never catch a cheating wife unless she wants to know since she in a revenge mission. Among reasons why spouses cheat and especially men is because they feel increasingly powerless in a modern society where women might be dominating them. In the family and also in the society at large. A man feels that a professional career woman is intimidating and not submissive at all. Such a relationship will be tensioned and the man ends up cheating on the wife with a person he feels comfortable with. all this might be imagination which have convinced the mind. A man wants somewhere he feels superior.

Sex is believed to be one of the reasons why spouses cheat. It is conventional that men are more desperate for sex than women. Cheating husbands are said not to be getting enough sex from their marriage. I think this is just a lame excuse for them to stray. A man in need of sex would be caught sleeping with different women and no follow ups whatsoever. A man who is having sexual affair with one single woman is emotionally attached to her. This is contrary to the earlier belief that women offer sex to get love and men offer love to get sex. As men approach mid life crisis they look for intimacy which might have eloped through the window in their marriage. The trends are evident where men stick to emotional affairs rather than physical ones. The world of cheating is taking another turn where men look for intimacy and women for sex.
