02 Apr How to Have an Affair (Stuck and Lovin’ It)
Anne and I have a great marriage! We have been married for 22 years and one major key to having a great marriage may shock you! What I am about to say is quite scandalous…if you are standing up you may want to sit down! If you are driving, you may want to pull over (you shouldn’t be driving and reading this anyway)!
What has kept our marriage so great is that for 22 years Anne and I have been having an affair! There I said it…it’s good to get that off my chest and out in the open. Now before you stop reading the Joy Boy Blog, I need to tell you the good news…we are having an affair with each other!
In a NBC poll it was discovered that 35% of men cheat and 23% of women cheat. I was flabbergasted as I listened to an NBC psychologist as she analyzed the startling data. This woman was obviously so open minded her brains had fallen out as she reported with confidence that this was simply Darwinian in nature and was part of our evolutionary process! The Bible has a very different view than this “academia egghead” and tells us the adulteress or adulterer is after the “precious life” (see Proverbs 6:26). Don’t let your “precious life” be stolen from you!
We are going to examine how to have an affair and in doing so, I believe we will strengthen your marriage (II Cor. 2:11).
12 Actions to Ascertain an Affair:
- Drift in your walk with God (Luke 10:38-42).
You know the routine…you are busy! Life happens! You aren’t doing anything evil, just going through the motions of work, come home, pay the bills, sneak in a little time with your family, etc. etc. Before long your prayer life is in the shower or in the car in between cell phone calls. You are now too tired to make it to church on Wednesday and then it becomes easier just to sleep in on Sundays. After months of this, it becomes easier to just “veg” in front of the television or internet and watch “questionable” programs or pictures.
I once heard of an expert violinist who reported, “If I don’t practice for one day, I can tell. If I don’t practice for two days, my fellow musicians can tell. If I don’t practice for three days, my audience can tell.” Remember this…adultery doesn’t happen over night, it happens over time!
