A marriage that has undergone the challenge of surviving a sexual detour can be successful in every way. Intimacy can be established. Sex can become an expression of the intimacy the relationship did not have before. An affair means we no longer love our spouse . An affair does not reflect on love as much as it does on our ability to understand ourselves or communicate with another.
Affairs mean different things to different people.
