Also, marriages go through phases too. Couples often feel challenges as they go through these phases, it doesn't mean their marriage is necessarily genuinely on the rocks. Each decade brings new challenges, a different phase in a relationship. It's not unusual for a "middle aged" couple, especially the male to need a presence that can provide some kind of boost to his male ego. This doesn't mean he is necessarily ready to end his marriage.
