As for the emotional desert, it seems to me that they are already there.
Things are not always black or white, you either have an idyllic loving relationship or get a divorce. There are lots of gray areas in between.

He doesnt say that he has slept with other women.
Adultery always has bad consequences. Yes there are marriages that arent idyllic, but bringing adultery into them will only make things worse. The couple getting good counseling and working on the marriage is what is needed, not encouragement to be unfaithful.
