This is kind of a "don't", but – Think very, very carefully before saying anything negative about your spouse or marriage to anyone else.

If it's someone of the same gender who might give foolish advice, gossip, or fan your anger/frustration, that's a mistake.

If it's someone of the opposite gender, that is a HUGE mistake unless they are a pastor or counselor acting in their official capacity AND they are not the object of your attraction.

I have had very close friends of the opposite gender, and years later I realize that was a mistake and a disaster waiting to happen. However, there were a number of boundaries that I think prevented anything serious from happening, and this is one of them.

Communicate with your spouse the way they can receive it, not the way you think it should be. Learn their love language. Mine is acts of service. You would be amazed at how excited I can get when I come home and the dishwasher is empty or some other chore I have wanted done is finished. When you speak the right language it is much easier to communicate and everyone is happier. : )

I would also add – Speak encouraging words mutiple times daily. Everyone needs to hear words of encouragement. We are drawn to it. So it is natural to be drawn to those who make you feel special and important. Make your spouse feel special and important or something or someone else will and that is where it all begins…..

Good one.Date nights are great! Date lunches during the middle of the work week are great too! You get a chance to talk to your spouse when things are fresh on your mind. It helps bridge the gap between work and home. I love my Tuesday dates with my husband. It is a protected time and helps us stay connected.

Pray daily that you children will know and live for Christ and imagine what your wrong living could do to harm that.

Tom, you are so right. No one stands at the altar hoping to be unfaithful…it is a slow fade.
