Why husbands and wives cheat is one of the most difficult, painful and unanswerable questions of society. But a new study suggests, if not a reason for infidelity, an important piece of context. It turns out, according to [a] study in [the] American Sociological Review, that husbands and wives cheat more when their spouses make a lot more money. In other words, husbands and wives are less likely to cheat when they are both contributing equally to the household's earnings. [News media article is based on Munsch, Christin L.
