The 3 relationship scripts that make affairs likely—and how to shift them Most people don’t get married expecting to have an affair. And yet, affairs happen all the time, even in marriages that seem stable.

If you’ve ever felt like your marriage has lost its spark, understanding these patterns can help you take back control and rebuild a deeper connection. What You’ll Learn: The wife-as-caretaker script – Why treating your husband like a dependent, rather than a partner, weakens attraction.
