Maintaining a healthy relationship

Infidelity can have a far-reaching ripple effect not only on a family, but on the military mission as well. Having a plan and a strong relationship, communicating with your spouse and receiving help when needed are all important. One deployment veteran, who has advised and counseled military families on fidelity issues, said that in his experience those who cheat are a small percentage compared to those who are faithful. He also said that those who do cheat come to realize the devastation it can bring. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Jonathan Snyder)
