Chapter 1: The Fragility of Marriage

Marriage can be likened to a small vessel; it requires the husband and wife to work in harmony to navigate life's waters effectively.

Often, the rift between spouses does not stem from life's challenges or the mundane aspects of daily living, but rather from betrayal. A poignant adage suggests, "A man's fidelity is frequently contingent upon the temptations he encounters; loyalty is not an absolute. Likewise, a woman's integrity may hinge on the consequences of infidelity; virtue is not inherent."

The price of infidelity can be steep. When a man becomes enamored with another woman, he will inevitably confront certain realities, often without his wife's intervention. The initial allure diminishes, revealing that the other woman may not hold a candle to his spouse.

Consider Nick, who fell for a young and attractive coworker last year. He was so infatuated that he gifted her a car. However, as time passed, the charm faded, and he began to notice her flaws—she was quick-tempered, impulsive, and immature. Eventually, Nick felt more at ease at home with his wife than with the new woman.

As the initial infatuation wore off, he realized that the other woman lacked the kindness and understanding his wife offered. Confronted with this reality, Nick began to distance himself from her, ultimately seeking solace in his family.

Chapter 2: The Cost of Affair

In the realm of extramarital relationships, financial implications often play a significant role. A man wishing to impress the woman he is involved with may take her to upscale restaurants or indulge her desires for luxury items. This financial burden can become overwhelming as he attempts to maintain the façade of romance.

The woman in this relationship may be drawn not solely by love, but by the man's resources, leading to a transactional dynamic. When the man's finances dwindle, so does the relationship; both parties may find themselves parting ways once the benefits cease.

Now, consider Lena, who devoted herself to a man for many years. Despite her unwavering support and love, it became apparent that his affections were shallow, motivated instead by her family's resources. When his affair with a colleague came to light, he lost both his career and Lena, while the other woman also walked away.

Once trust is shattered through betrayal, the damage is often irreversible. The wife may wish to salvage the relationship, yet the emotional scars remain. The man, having lost both his wife and the other woman, finds himself ultimately unfulfilled.

Chapter 3: The Value of Commitment

According to "The Book Has Its Own Yan Ruyu," the expectations of marriage vary among individuals. Some seek mere companionship, while others desire a true partnership. Regardless of one's aspirations, a successful marriage should always be preferable to solitude.

Marriage is like a fragile sapling; without proper care, it can wither. As two individuals embark on this journey together, they must commit to nurturing their bond, avoiding the temptation to abandon their shared goals.

Betrayal can irrevocably alter the course of a relationship, transforming marriage into a cage or an empty shell. Only through mutual appreciation and effort can couples cultivate lasting happiness and fulfillment.
