A question that comes up in dealing with affairs and the aftermath is that of “how far should I go?” arises. Spouses want to know how far they should go in doing things for their partner. Sadly, some partners actually want their spouses to do things that actually contribute to affairs, and the spouses do them. Although I am astounded at what some spouses asks their partners to do, I am further astounded that many times the partner does them, even in Christian couples. The best guideline I can offer is this. When your spouse asks you to do something that is clearly ungodly then you must be willing to suffer for not doing what is wrong. Just because someone is a Christian does not mean that their nature is holy. Although it should be, many people have Christian beliefs, although their depraved nature still wants to be satisfied by ungodly acts.

I have seen this scenario more times than I would like.  In some cases, when the couple is dating, because the potential spouse is a Christian, they allow them to do things that were not proper. Once married, the pattern continues, with the demands and behaviors becoming more extreme, and against their better judgment,  one spouse gives into the ungodly requests, because the spouse is a “Christian”. These things ought not be. Robbing a bank is still a crime whether it is done by a Christian or a pagan, so likewise, some behaviors are not acceptable just because the person asking you to do it is a Christian, especially if those behaviors weaken your marriage or contribute to an affair.
