Day 10 of the Challenge

Hello my beautiful readers. Thanks for sticking with me through this first part of the 31 day challenge to bring you a bible verse about marriage each day. Here is day ten.
Day 10 -
"My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?"
-- Genesis 19:9
So today's post is a little late because it has been a busy day :-) The verse is about Joseph and the encounter he had with Potiphar's wife. She came on to him and he said no. We are all human and sometimes we feel neglected, like Potiphar's wife, by our spouse and we might stray or think about straying. To make sure that an affair NEVER happens you could do three things. First be self-aware and have a clear sense of moral boundaries. Second is to have an exit strategy if you are put in a situation that is uncomfortable or you know is a bad situation for you to be in as a married woman or man. Third is to not deny your vulnerability, talk to your spouse about how you are feeling about temptation and if you are feeling neglected in any way. I actually enjoyed this very real verse and topic today.
Loves.
