Pursuing Someone Other Than Your Spouse

What do you do when your husband seems to be pursuing a relationship with another woman? You need to communicate your concern very clearly with him. It ought to trigger in him the desire to draw back from his interaction with that woman and cause him to focus his attention exclusively on you.

Episode Transcript

S1 (00:00):
A listener, writes Gary. My husband seems to be pursuing
a friendship with a female gaming partner online. He says
there's nothing going on, but it still makes me uncomfortable.

S2 (00:10):
Well, I think there are many wives that can identify
with this question. Let's face it, most affairs do not
begin with the affair. It begins with interaction with another person,
often online, and bit by bit it develops into something.
So maybe there is nothing really going on that's improper here,

(00:32):
but the very fact that you're concerned and you're sharing
that with your husband, which I think you should share
with him, it ought to trigger in him a desire
to please you and be willing to draw back from that.
So pray that God will touch his heart and make
sure that he knows that you're not happy with this.

S3 (00:52):
