can a affair be ''good'' for you marriage?

[lotsafun]

A friend of mine has confided in me that she is concidering having a affair or one night stand so to speak in order to put the spark back in her relationship. I cant see how this is going to work personally, i myself have gone through stale patches in my relationship but dont think i could ever cheat on my partner. She says that she and her husband have probably had sex twice this year and although she does love him (he really is a great guy) she needs more than he can give. She has no interest in having sex with him and vice versa but she does love him and couldnt imagine her life without him etc. I personally think she is craving a it of excitment, im sure there are many of us who feel like that sometimes , but is a affair really the answer? what do you think?

I dont think an affair is correct. I think that the best thing to do is to 'spice things up' a little

I can't imagine that it is, but I suppose every marriage is different.
