Even if you are married to the best spouse in the whole world, if you do not guard your heart, you may end up “falling in love” with someone aside from your spouse and eventually ruin your marriage.
No one gets married and plan to have an affair but lots of married men and women are into affairs today because they slept when they should have been wide awake with their five senses alert.
- Don’t be too friendly with the opposite sex. This is where lots of married people land in trouble. Over spirituality and pride will destroy your marriage! You can’t handle a close friendship with the opposite sex as a married person. Your heart is involved. Set boundaries. Be disciplined. Be cordial. Be respectful. Be godly. Be holy.
- Don’t share your personal problems with an opposite-sex friend. It will bond you together. Problems bond people.
