Every Christian married person you talk to you would openly and rightfully say that affairs are bad.

Yet, here's a tragic part. They still happen. And they still happen among Christian people.

And not just that, but they happen among professing church going, attending, church attending believers. It's tragic. So why does that happen?

Well, I mean, the short answer is we're sinners in a broken world, but like every sin, I think there's

something, there's, there's things that lead up to it, right? There's red flags. There's things

that we're either ignoring or we don't know about that we begin to fall into.

So this episode is all about seeing those signs on the horizon.

We're calling it the anatomy of an affair.

In other words, what does an affair look like in its budding stages?

What circumstances lead to the gestation of an affair that would then bring it to bear into the life of a married couple?

What are what are the those warning signs? So we're going to explore that here today in great detail and we trust you'll find it helpful. We'll see you on the other side.

So no couple. I love that you wrote this, you said no couple is immune to temptation and every couple must talk proactively, strategize and act to shield themselves from isolation and temptation that can lead to an affair.

Yeah, and we'll talk about this more soon.

But it's funny, there's no other area in life where we think, oh, I'll just neglect that

thing and that thing will still flourish.

Right.

Like, you know, if you don't clean out your car, it's going to be just a massive monumental

pile of mess.

If you don't clean your house, it's not going to get cleaner by default. It's going to get worse. Oh, how I wish that was nothing. If you don't maintain your health, your health will not just naturally get better. It will decline because we live in a fallen world. But for some reason in this area of marriage, couples just are diluted. And I mean this, okay, we work in the space.

We talk to a lot of couples, and I don't mean that we are, you know, willing, you know, badly

for our marriages.

But if we just think that if we kind of, we don't have to actually do any work.
