Today I want to talk about a letter I received from a woman recently. She writes I love my husband very much, but one thing that bugs me is that he is always receiving texts from another woman at church.

I think its inappropriate for a married man to text with another woman, but they both think its harmless. Help So what should this wife do At the same time, I recently read an article that quoted a British study which found that Facebook was implicated in one out of every eight divorces. Where Can I Watch Sesame Street Full Episodes Online on this page. I personally know a few divorces where Facebook played a major role, because someone reconnected with an old flame. So I thought today we should address the whole technological threat to ones marriage. Lets start with some basic rules. In marriage, there shouldnt be secrets. That means you should be able to use each others phones. If your husband wont let you use his phone, or you hesitate before turning your phone over to him, you have an issue. You should never be texting or talking to someone of the opposite sex in a way that would make your mate upset. Everything should be interchangeable. If hes texting another woman frequently, thats a problem. I know many of you have friends that you talk to on Facebook who are guys. Im not saying you can never comment on a guys status, or Like someones status. Im just saying that if youre tempted to turn the computer screen away so your husband wont see, you have an issue.

Responses to If youre married youre on Facebook, you should read this. Remember that work relationships can easily cross the line. If I can be totally transparent here, the only times in my marriage when I have even been remotely attracted to another man has been in a work situation, when that guy really did not know Keith. Now, those things never went anywhere, and it wasnt as if I had a crush or anything, its just the only times I ever even noticed that a guy was attractive were in scenarios where my husband didnt know the man, like during my university days. In a work situation, its very easy to think of yourself as separate from your husband, because your coworkers dont tend to know him. And thats when these things can creep in. Now, I havent been in very many work situations in my marriage, so this really hasnt been an issue for me. But most men are in these work situations all the time, and many women are constantly, too. We need to guard against these things. Watch Lost On Purpose 4Shared. So set boundaries where you work, and dont start texting or Facebooking a coworker inappropriately. I was texting a co worker someone Im often on tour with recently about a few things, but Keith was right in the car with me, and I was reading it as I texted it. Keith, too. I dont think thats a big problem. But texting constantly, when your husband doesnt know, is wrong. Dont chat. Communicating information is one thing sometimes with coworkers we have to chatting is an entirey different story. I cant really think of a scenario in which Facebook chat with a man who is not your husband is appropriate. If he needs counseling, for instance, youre not the one to give it to him anyway. If its an old friend youve just found after twenty years, its more important to write a long catch up letter, with pictures of your kids and husband, etc., then it is to chat. Chatting really starts a relationship and some intimacy, so dont do it. Talk about these boundaries with your husband. If its your husband thats violating these boundaries, you need to talk about it. But asking him about a specific woman will often backfire. Instead, why not wait until youre both relaxed and having fun, and then ask if you can talk about general boundaries. Ask him what hes comfortable with you doing does he think its okay for you to text other men To talk on Facebook to other men To go out to lunch with male coworkers How should you decide Make it about you first. Then talk about him. Can he text other women Ask if you can regularly use his phone, and tell him hes always welcome to check your phone. Leave it in a central place, and ask him to do the same. If he cant agree, then you have an issue, and you need to speak firmly about that. Affairs often begin over an emotional connection that people have made, and its easy to make that emotional connection over technology. The problem with texting and Facebook is that while they can easily start a relationship, we see them as far less personal than phone calls, so were far more likely to do them. I may never have picked up the phone and called an old boyfriend, for instance, but if hes up on Facebook, thats when people find it easy to chat. You wouldnt phone, but youd chat, and quite honestly, chatting can be worse. Well often type things we would never actually say, because it seems as if theres a technological boundary between us. But there really isnt. And its all too easy to step over that line. This problem is only going to get worse as were all connected constantly, so we have to step in now. Set up boundaries. Make an open policy towards everything you do online or with your phone. Share passwords. Let him know that you WANT to be open with him, and ask him to do the same. And then be smart. Just because you dont feel something for a guy now, and you have no intention of going down that road, does not mean that it wouldnt develop if you started talking to him all the time. So dont take the risk, and keep your eyes on your manRead a few pages. Do what it says.
