Secret Lovers

From the Bible to Shakespeare, The Scarlet Letter to Fatal Attraction, our history, our literature, and cinema is filled with tragic stories of extra-marital love affairs. So why would anyone risk their family, professional status, and good name for a clandestine love affair? In this startling book, Dr. Luann Linquist exposes the truth about affairs and reveals how most people find much benefit from affairs, even as they suffer from the consequences. Unlike most books on the subject that focus on the affect taboo affairs have on marriages, Secret Lovers takes an unflinchingly look at the dynamics of the affair itself. Focusing on the complexity of long-term affairs, the book answers commonly asked questions: How do affairs begin? What are the signs? Why do people become involved in them? Linquist goes beyond the obvious by raising the deeper issues about our most intimate and risky behavior. In candid terms, the author explores what is going on in married people`s lives that lead them to have an affair and reveals why single people are drawn to these forbidden relationships.
