Too many women wake up in their marriages and ask themselves, “Is this it?” After years of sharing domestic duties, raising kids, and balancing careers, they can’t help but wonder if they’re living the life they’ve always intended to have.

In Cheat on Your Husband (With Your Husband), dating and relationship expert Andrea Syrtash shows women how to create more exciting and fulfilling relationships with their spouses (and with themselves) by reconnecting with the people they were when they fell in love. Using real-life examples of couples who have benefitted from her techniques, Syrtash walks readers through exercises such as:
- King for a Day: For one day, surrender control and let your partner take the lead when it comes to childcare, domestic duties, and romantic moments.
- Interview Your Partner: Ask him questions like Who were you before we got married? What part of your identity have you lost that you miss? What do you miss about our connection?
- Do Sweat the Small Stuff: Our daily lives are made up of ordinary moments. Most people let those moments become part of a mindless routine. Take back these easy opportunities to connect with your spouse.

ANDREA SYRTASH regularly contributes to Oprah.com, Yahoo!, and various other Web sites and magazines, in addition to hosting NBC’s digital show On Dating. She lives with her husband in Brooklyn.
