I have not been able to get this off my mind. I have been hit with multiple stories of marital unfaithfulness in the last few weeks. I hurt deeply for each of these marriages, their families, and the lives they touch an influence.
From ministry to politics, these instances of unfaithfulness didn’t happen because somebody woke up one morning and decided it would be a good day to break their wedding vows. Nonetheless, the damage occurred and lives are forever changed, marriages are in jeopardy, and influence is cheapened.
Consequently, Tabitha and I have been talking a lot about the importance of boundaries and accountability. Next week, with her permission, I am going to share the specific boundaries we have established as a couple and the steps of accountability that are in place.
Our boundaries don’t have to be your boundaries…BUT…it is critical that you have your own boundaries and steps to insure accountability.
I would love to hear from some of you on this. What kind of boundaries do you have in your marriage?
