Friend, this topic is SO important I'm putting it back in front of you again. Here's the deal: Even people in strong, satisfying relationships can develop feelings of attraction for another person. It's part of the human experience. These feelings can be transient and meaningless... OR they could destroy your life, if you follow them. Are crushes innocent, or on-ramps to an affair? Can you be "friends" with someone you have a crush on, without risking your relationship? What should you do when you're married, but have a crush on someone else? Oh, the questions!

It happens: people in happy, healthy, committed relationships can still develop crushes on others. However, smart, self-aware people in committed relationships that they care about need to handle these maturely and with wisdom. That's what you'll learn how to do on today's show. We'll discuss:

The mechanics of a crush; how and why crushes develop
The difference between a crush and a platonic friendship
Why happy, committed married people can have crushes on others
How crushes can turn into something more serious
How to use self awareness, integrity, and honesty to protect your marriage
How to use your crush experience in order to add energy and intimacy into your relationship
Warning signs that your crush is developing into something else
Why extramarital affairs are always a bad idea, and rarely end well
How to stop having a crush on someone else
How to avoid embarrassment and professional ruin if you have a crush on a coworker
How to protect your relationship and stay true to your values even when you're having feelings for another.

All this and more on today's episode of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast.

xoxo,

Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
