Publisher's summary

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 best-selling 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

• 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 book list, and in the lives of every married couple.

Affairs are more than sex

This book is the first book that I have ever read that discussed the emotional and addictive parts of an affair. I found David Carter’s ideas extremely enlightening. This book, if followed, could save someone a lot of grief.

Excellent book

Helpful for understanding affairs & addictions & identifying ways to proactively insulate yourself/relationship from it for life

Excellent read

I couldn’t stop listening and I’ll actually buy a hard copy. It was quite an eye opener and learnt a lot. I’ll recommend it to my wife and friends.

Simply Awesome

I believe audio books need to be easy to listen to, even to necessary mundane details, as well as contain captivating stories to keep our attention. This book offers both at a very high level. Simply awesome!

Love this book!

I read it twice! It is a wonderful, insightful book on how to deal with close calls in your marriage.

Excellent book

The title had me unsure if I wanted to read this, but the description made me interested. I really enjoyed it for such a sensitive subject. Very informative and relatable. Lots of useful exercises that I can’t wait to do with my husband to learn more about ourselves, each other and to help protect our marriage. Highly recommend.

Never say, “It won’t happen to me.”

This is a Great and informative book for married couples to read about the warnings of close call relationships that could lead to an affair!

Very good!

It explains amazingly the different kind of affairs. Why people cheat and the link between family or origin and infidelity. it also gives tips to avoid the affair. Sadly, you do not read it until you already have a BROKEN HEART.

Every couple should read this

I wish I would’ve had this book many years ago...Must read for ALL couples.

My thoughts

I did like some of the valuable information based on experiences of individual and couples through a betrayal and affair. I found no space for same sex relationships but could put it into context for myself. Am not a faithful Christian but a believer and looked to this book as a resource of information for note taking and consideration of my place in this as person directly affected by an affair left to sift through my own experiences, information and perspective of where I feel comfortable in the process of moving forward, together or individually.
