I have made a habit of telling my husband when I begin to find someone else ‘attractive’ and why. Usually it is that the man listens to me…?? Hhmmm… and I feel valued outside of being mom and cook and cleaner and chauffeur etc. This has been just a heads up to both of us and means there are no secrets going on.

Such a wonderful post! I remember my pastor telling our high school group long ago, “beware of vows, they can trip you up”. I’ve noticed that if I say “I would NEVER” I’m opening a foothold to the Deceiver to place excuses and justifications for that very thing because, of course, I would never!
Thank you for the point about still finding other men attractive. I am so thankful I shared with my best friend about a man I know because it had blindsided me. By being honest with my friend about it I’ve helped my heart to not feel guilty but also to keep on my guard. Thank you for your honesty!

Good, solid advice! I understand being attracted to another man in recent years, and it was hard to admit, let alone separate from. It’s so easy to be lulled by easy conversation and comfort when home life feels rough & ragged. Thank God for His intervention and prevention of anything serious – but there, but for the grace of God, go I!

“There is one thing, too, I wish I had known when I got married: other men will still be attractive to you.”

This is one thing that all women should be told. And given tools to handle…
What a great post!

Thank you for posting about topics like this, definetly something many people will NOT talk about… and pretend doesn’t exist.

That was so inspiring!! Only God can give us the transperency to tell our testimony that way with such authority. When you point at someone, always remember that three fingers point back at you. There but by the grace of God go I!!

And even with a list of physical boundaries, temptation can still get through that. I think we all have people we connect with. That’s why us women bond with other women, we have kindred spirits. I don’t think that kindred spirit is limited to fellow sisters, but brothers in Christ also. Stay close to your husband and if you’re single keep a proper distance from your girlfriend’s husbands.

I once knew that I was treading dangerous waters with a male friendship. What was the main clue? I kept it from my best friend. So I think Amber gives some great advice :) Accountability is what we all need!!

This post *How Could She Do That?!* resonated with me in a powerful way. I think I’ve been there, though probably denied it. Talking about it is POWERFUL. It brings it to the Light. I need to think on this one, and pray. Thank you, Amber and Sarah!
