If you can figure that out and a way to fix it, write a book and be a billionaire. Mostly it's a lack of variety - there's certainly plenty of arguments for monogamy, but biological imperatives encourage both men and women to stray and no amount of inventiveness with the same partner satisfies that urge.

I don't see how not having sex and doing (whatever else you do) can create a deeper bond than having sex and doing (whatever else you do). I'm definitely not arguing that you can't improve a relationship without necessarily involving sex, but it's not an either/or proposition.

Ah, but what if an angel is just the devil wearing white?

Yah, 'cause if you were Dr. Phil, you'd feed 'em some bafflegab about how whatever they mutually agree to must be right for them. But then, if mutual agreement was a guarantee you're doing the right thing, no one would ever get divorced.
