"When the Circle Breaks" explains to the reader that marital unfaithfulness is not only a physical act by a spouse with someone outside of marriage. It goes deeper than physical compromise. It is usually what seems unimportant which makes a spouse ignore faults and selfish habits, which are often causes for the instabilities in the relationship. This book gives details of the little things that are often ignored, but which are important to the quality and life of the relationship.
