After years of marriage, it’s easy for everyday life to become focused on schedules, chores, bills, work, and everything else that needs to get done. That doesn’t mean affection and appreciation stop mattering, though. Sometimes, a few sincere words from a husband can make his wife feel seen, valued, and appreciated all over again.

These are the things many wives would love to hear, even after spending years together.

You're probably familiar with the saying, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound"? In other words, does something need to be perceived to be considered real, and for others to pass judgment? Yet, even if you're not outright unfaithful to your partner, and even if your partner never finds out about your actions and true emotions, it could still be considered infidelity. In fact, some of the things on the list may surprise you because you might be doing it without knowing. Here are 20 not-so-obvious actions that are still considered cheating.

A Timeline of Divorce in America

https://www.spiriolaw.com/The-Latest-News-Blog/2026/9/A-Timeline-of-Divorce-in-America

Divorce was once uncommon and highly stigmatized in the United States. Until the introduction of no-fault divorce in the 1960s and ’70s, states typically required one partner to prove the other’s misconduct by the other in a costly, complex process that often favored men.

Attitudes—and laws—changed as the institution of marriage and gender roles have evolved. A July 2025 assessment by the Institute for Family Studies calculated that roughly 40 percent of first marriages end in divorce.

Here’s what American divorce looked like from the colonial era to the 21st century.

Gray Divorce: Why More Women Are Ending Marriages in Midlife

https://www.spiriolaw.com/The-Latest-News-Blog/2026/9/Gray-Divorce-Why-More-Women-Are-Ending-Marriages-in-Midlife

Midlife divorce is one of the fastest-growing trends in America as women 50+ rethink the second half of life.
While overall divorce numbers have declined since reaching a peak in the early 1980s, in recent years they’ve begun to soar among one demographic: people 50 and up.

The numbers are revealing. Between 1990 and 2019, “gray divorce” jumped from nearly 9% to 36%. And just this year alone, nearly 40% of divorces were among Gen X’ers. It’s even higher for Boomers. A 2021 report from the U.S. Census Bureau finds that divorce rates for people 65 and up tripled during roughly the same time period.

Words of Wisdom From The Legendary Dolly Parton

https://www.spiriolaw.com/The-Latest-News-Blog/2026/9/Words-of-Wisdom-From-The-Legendary-Dolly-Parton

Dolly Parton was many things in her long career: a trailblazing songwriter, a singer with an unforgettable voice, a pop-culture presence par excellence, and more. But she was also one of the most quotable people of her era. Practically every time Dolly spoke into a microphone, she said something hilarious, surprising, or wise — often all three at once.

A steadfast and beloved ally to the LGBTQ+ community, she used her platform to champion love, diversity, and acceptance long before it was widely accepted in country music. Her friendship with the community spanned several decades and was defined by genuine love rather than political posturing.

As the world continues to mourn her after the news of her death at age 80, here are 25 of Dolly Parton’s greatest quotes on life, music, fame, God, and more.

“Anything went”: When America Went Wild for Queerness In The Forgotten Golden Age of Drag

https://www.spiriolaw.com/The-Latest-News-Blog/2026/8/%E2%80%9CAnything-went%E2%80%9D-When-America-Went-Wild-for-Queerness-In-The-Forgotten-Golden-Age-of-Drag

In 1869, a ball was held in Harlem that would later be termed “the event of the season.” Organized by the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, the stars of this ball were drag performers who sang, danced, and strutted their stuff in front of thousands of people. It was a smashing success, so much so that even straight people flocked to attend future balls.

It was at that ball that a phenomenon that would someday be termed the Pansy Craze began to percolate, and in the 1920's and 1930's, Jean Malin was the era’s queen.

This is a fascinating and informative article on the history, performers, and "pansy" clubs of this era.

Kevin Costner's Prenup Held. He Kept the Ranch, the Catalog, and Nearly Everything Else Because of Clauses Any Couple Can Copy

https://www.spiriolaw.com/The-Latest-News-Blog/2026/8/Kevin-Costners-Prenup-Held-He-Kept-the-Ranch-the-Catalog-and-Nearly-Everything-Else-Because-of-Clauses-Any-Couple-Can-Copy

If you are engaged, remarrying, or already married with a prenup gathering dust in a drawer, the Kevin Costner divorce is worth two minutes of your time. A court upheld his prenuptial agreement, and press accounts credit that document with letting him keep his ranch, his film catalog, and nearly everything else he brought in. The wild part: the clauses that did the heavy lifting are standard prenup provisions any couple can write into their own agreement, and most people either skip them or botch the ex*****on.

Contact me at 631-277-8844 or [email protected] for a free no-obligation 15-minute initial consultation to find out how I can do the same for you.

The Baby-Boomer Divorce Wave Is Reshaping Retirement And Inheritance

https://www.spiriolaw.com/The-Latest-News-Blog/2026/8/The-Baby-Boomer-Divorce-Wave-Is-Reshaping-Retirement-And-Inheritance

Baby boomers are having some second thoughts about the whole "till death do us part" thing. Instead of waiting for someone to land in a coffin to go their separate ways, they're going to the courthouse.

Longer lives have married people wondering whether they actually want to spend their now-extended golden years with some not-so-golden feelings about the person next to them. A growing number of people over 50 — especially those over 65 — are deciding that they don't.

The face of divorce has a lot more wrinkles and gray hair than it used to, and that brings with it a fresh set of financial calculations and complications. The challenge isn't just what to do with the kids and the house. It's dividing up retirement savings that were supposed to support one household, rewriting wills and trusts, and overhauling estate plans. It's also digging up 25-year-old paperwork and worrying about what happens to your inheritance if your 70-year-old Dad dives into marriage No. 2.

For families, a late-in-life split can be a financial quagmire. As the US enters the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history, gray divorce may quietly reroute trillions of dollars and reshape the retirement many people have envisioned.
