Connect to Love

A rabbi/marriage counselor polled more than 500 married women to learn how many had had sexual affairs, why they did, how they handled it, and how their husbands could have prevented it. Women who strayed (39 percent of respondents!) were more unfulfilled emotionally and sexually, and more angry with their spouses than non-cheaters. With all its questionnaires and statistics, the book feels uneven. But the surprising survey results are clear enough, and the message important: Many women stray for reasons husbands can prevent by being loving, collaborative, honest, and available. Along with Cassandra Campbell's spot-on performance of the respondents' statements, Danny Campbell's attentive reading is a perfect fit for this eye-opening account of what makes women unhappy in their marriages.
