Average cost of a wedding for two… 28K

Average cost of a divorce for two… 30K

But that doesn’t take into affect, child support, alimony, time spent now and in the future, cost of housing and traveling with kids not in your house… and about 20 other things… 

It is truly easier, cheaper and more rewarding to stay married.

 

*Reminder: Affairs don’t start because you want sex… they start because your emotional needs are not being met. So where are the danger zones as married couples… here are the 3 biggest. 

 

3 Stages of marriage that can lead to an affair

  -  Empty nester - you only had the kids in common. You are strangers when the kids leave.

 

  -  Intimacy avoidance  -  lots of action, things in common, time together but one of you or both of you are not intimate with who you really are and what you are really dealing with, fearing or your deepest darkest secrets. 

One of the spouses can’t handle honesty (they may feel attacked or discouraged or overwhelmed by their past) so they can’t be intimate with life. 

 

  -  No conflict marriage  - you stuff everything down, you have no fights, you are roommates…

(you do fight but its in your head by yourself) 

*someone comes along and ignites you and BOOM. 

 

 

Final warning when it comes to sexual temptation. 

Nowhere in scripture will you see a verse that says when being tempted sexually you should 

pray more, 

or fast 

or read scripture

Or go to church more

Or memorize the bible

… one solution: RUN! Detach yourself immediately!

Are you being tempted emotionally? Sexually? RUN! Run to your spouse and get honest with her and tell her that you both need to work on your marriage.
