Could an extra-marital lover be the answer to a happy marriage?

Those having an adulterous relationship may be interested to hear Helen Mirren's thoughts on the secret to a happy marriage

Romance for the Oscar-winning actress is not important to a lasting marriage; rather loyalty and honesty are her key tips.

This could come as good news for those getting a bit on the side, as it reflects the growing trend that monogamy is not the be all and end all of a lasting relationship.

Instead, unfaithful partners may find their romance requirements in the form of a mistress.

Ms Mirren said: "Taylor [her husband] isn't romantic, but what I get on the other side is so much better. Loyalty and truthfulness – I'd take those qualities over romantic evenings any time."

The notion that loyalty is another secret to a lasting marriage may come as good news to those playing away from home too, as it supports the growing trend in which couples are open and honest with their partners about any extra-marital bedroom antics.
