Key Takeaways Copied to clipboard!

  • Cheating is a decision made by the individual, and a partner cannot control or prevent it through their own actions or behavior. 
  • Goal setting should focus on achievable steps within one's control, rather than overly audacious goals that lack a clear path forward. 
  • To establish a new habit, use 'habit stacking' by attaching the new desired action onto an existing, established routine.
