Tomorrow I'm speaking at a Women Alive conference near Toronto, on the topic "Affair Proof Your Marriage". Some of it will be funny (especially when I talk about sex), some of it will be sad (like when I talk about loneliness), but I hope all of it will be challenging (like when I talk about how marriage is to make us holy perhaps more than it is to make us happy!).
But as I was preparing, I remembered a survey that was done a while ago with some interesting results.
So I'm going to ask you the question. Take this poll please, and then we'll see if my assumption is correct!

If your husband had a one night stand that "didn't mean anything"
If your husband spilled his emotions and dreams with another woman for months on end, even if nothing physical happened?
Both would obviously hurt me. Honestly I think the one night stand would hurt me more. If I found out he was talking about everything personal with another woman then I could take the initative and make a better effort to bring him and his thoughts and converstation back to me and not some other woman. The one night stand regardless of what was behind it would always be something that would be between us. NO matter the amount of dreams he told that other woman, even if it invovled me and my seemingly lack of interest in what he likes, nothing would ever take away the guilt (both of us would feel guilty) that sex outside marriage would amount to.
