Guard Your Marriage #9


Adultery does not just happen. It is the culminating act of many tiny steps of unfaithfulness. We are examining these in order to help safeguard marriages. We offer word-for-word quotes from real people who wrecked marriages (theirs and others). This information comes to us at great expense.

Minor Yet Arousing Touch, Squeeze, or Hug
"He never touched me for months.  Then one night after working late, we were walking toward the door when he said 'You're so special, thanks for all you do.'  Then he turned and hugged me tenderly just for a second.  I loved how I felt for that moment so much that I began to replay it over and over again in my mind like a videotape.  Now I know that I should have stopped it all right then.  I never intended to ruin my family like this."

"She was always hanging around our house and was my wife's best friend.  Often she would stay late to watch TV, even after my wife went to bed.  She would sit beside me on the couch and I was drawn to her."

"He would often pat me on the shoulder - you know, in appreciation for a good job I'd done.  But I knew it meant more than that."

"The first time she touched me was when we were doing registration together.  We were sitting beside each other.  I'd say something cute or funny and she would giggle, then under the table she'd squeeze the top of my leg with her hand.  That was really exciting to me."

"Every time she shook hands with me at the door she seemed to linger, sort of holding my hand more than shaking it.  No one else would notice, but I knew there was more to her touch than appeared to the eyes.  She knew, too."
