Anybody Religious?
| Wed, 03-10-2004 - 11:19pm |
Religion was one particular reason that stopped me from taking my emotional affair to any other level. I mean I could micro-analyze my marriage and come up with reasons to justify cheating to my own self but could not justify it to God. I am supposed to “guard my modesty” in relation to my husband and I couldn’t bring myself to break that decree. I and MM belong to different faiths but for him it was the religious reason too that held him back. I and MM could generate heat in excess of couple of hundred degrees ..lol.. but it’s the religion besides our idiosyncratic personalities that wouldn’t let us do it.
I am curious to know how other board members (who consider themselves actively religious) handle the religious aspect that considers adultery a serious sin. Do you feel like a sinner and think that other areas of your life might be getting affected by the adultery act (they say people get punished in this world too besides in the other world)? Do you feel that your prayers work?

But in my mind, you don't have to go as far as sex to commit adultery...if you're emotionally involved with someone other than your husband, doesn't that cross the line? Just a thought...
All of us lie, all of us have lust in our hearts....we are all sinners. Right now my prayers are with my children and myself for the strength to finish my divorce. I pray for strength every day. My relationship with God is private and extremely personal.
Thanks
