Who flirts first?

I don't think there is any place for flirting in a happy marriage. Again it comes down to two people really knowing one another before they get into a committed relationship. If this happens and you aren't into your mate flirting then that would not follow into marriage. Two people should be into one another not looking/flirting elsewhere.

Well, you're right that it's up to the boy to hold himself and not get tempted by women selling their flesh. As a matter a fact women who do that, do it because it's their job to do it. In their eyes this is part of what they do and they hardly flirt only because it's sexually related. It's money related and the pleasure is left in the background. On the other hand, men are looking for something different than domestic pleasure and they let themselves to be seduced. To them, it's sexually related. So, I think, women are first.

I think, most probably the guys/husbands coz they get to be out with friends most of the time than their spouses. The wives are often just at home and if they do go out with friends, it would usually be over lunch or coffee in the afternoon.

Flirting alone won't lead to any harm if nobody acts upon it. It doesn't matter much who flirted first. What matters most is who took the bait. Broke marriages nowadays couldn't only be attributed to third party getting in the way. The social and economic environment are now playing a great role in broken marriages. Financial problem, emotional instability, mental ailment brought about by stress, etc. So, i guess, people shouldn't just jump into marriage because of they're getting old or they are so in love. Marriage to be stable nowadays need so much more than that.

It is sad that these things happen. It is important anyone in a relationship to be on guard about these things. Flirting with someone who is not your partner isn't a good thing. It is best to think about what we say and do around others. We don't want to give the wrong impression that we are available when we clearly are not.

First of all, I don't think that the problem in marriages is the foundation. The problems all arise from the characters and behaviours of the ones involved. There are men that cheat. And there are women that cheat. Why do they cheat? Because it's their character and values that facilitate it. There is no rule in who does the flirting, anyone can do it. There are a lot of temptations everywhere but if you love and respect your partner you will be sincere with him and you won't do anything that would make you feel guilty.
