NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER THE STATE OF AFFAIR...

An affair: it can rob a couple of their relationship  their happiness  their very identity. And
yet  this extremely common human experience is so poorly understood. What are we to make of
this time-honored taboo?universally forbidden yet universally practiced? Why do people
cheat?even those in happy marriages? Why does an affair hurt so much? Do our romantic
expectations of marriage set us up for betrayal? Is there such a thing as an affair-proof
marriage? Is it possible to love more than one person at once? Can an affair ever help a
marriage? Perel weaves real-life case stories with incisive psychological and cultural analysis
in this fast-paced and compelling book. For the past ten years  Perel has traveled the globe
and worked with hundreds of couples who have grappled with infidelity. Betrayal hurts  she
writes  but it can be healed. An affair can even be the doorway to a new marriage?with the same
person. Affairs  she argues  have a lot to teach us about modern relationships?what we expect 
what we think we want  and what we feel entitled to. They offer a unique window into our
personal and cultural attitudes about love  lust  and commitment. Through examining illicit
love from multiple angles  Perel invites readers into an honest  enlightened  and entertaining
exploration of modern marriage in its many variations.
