From Amazon
Okay, so the title of this series seems even sillier when it applies to a serious topic such as this one. Yet Kuriansky, host of the syndicated radio program "LovePhones" and author of the earlier Complete Idiot's Guide to Dating, provides some solid information in a form that's sure to appeal to young people who may not have much relationship experience of their own to draw on. Her chapter on betrayal, while far from a complete guide to the subject, provides some basic information that more serious books might have passed by. (For instance, she warns couples to make sure their partners explicitly agree to an exclusive relationship rather than simply assuming it's so. She also points out that alcohol often lubricates affairs, so it's best not to drink too much in a situation where you might be tempted.) She even deals with "cyber-cheating," the very latest form of infidelity, and states that an Internet affair must be dealt with in the same way as any other form of betrayal. Couples who marry young are most vulnerable to extramarital threats, and this book will help them keep it together when serious problems arise. Of course, no book is going to provide everything a couple needs to get through an affair. What it can do is help them strengthen their marriage before adultery happens--and, if it happens anyway, to understand what's going on well enough for them to survive the painful aftermath. --Ben Kallen
