Description

When it comes to adultery, never say, "It won't happen to me."

Just when you think your marriage is safe from adultery is when you may be the most vulnerable.

With eye-opening stories, clinical insights, and up-to-date data, Dave Carder reveals what adulterers learned the hard way--and what they want the rest of us to know to save us the pain.

Dave Carder, counselor and author of the bestselling Torn Asunder (100,000 in print), is a sought-after expert on issues of adultery. Here he helps you make your marriage adultery-proof by showing you:

How attractions can lead to affairs
Ways you may be vulnerable to affairs
The common ingredients of adultery
How to restore intimacy to your marriage
How to make wise, protective decisions

Marriage is too sacred to be taken casually. Affairs are a very real threat, and they can destroy lives and families. For this reason, Anatomy of an Affair should be on every church leader's and marriage counselor's required reading list, and in the home of every married couple.

Includes charts and assessments to understand and guard against affairs.

This book is the revised edition of Close Calls (2008)
