This should be a no-brainer, but women who get their marital advice from pop-magazines and pseudo-psychology sources may have heard the popular refrain that “flirting with others is actually healthy for a relationship”. No, no, no! If your husband has even a shred of gheerah, this is only going to distance him from you and possibly even lead to divorce.
Never, ever play get-even games by flirting or letting men give you attention. You’ll find this tip in superficial girlie magazines. It might even work for some women in the short term, getting their husband to pay attention to them out of jealousy. In the long term, it breaks down the relationship. If the only way you can hold a relationship together is by manipulating your husband with these tricks, you need to see a marriage counselor to determine whether the marriage is worth staying in.
