When it comes to an emotional affair, do you know the warning signs? This month at Awesome Marriage we are talking about emotional infidelity and trust issues.

Today Dr. Kim & Christina talk specifically about emotional infidelity and the warning signs of it. Emotional affairs are everywhere and they are, unfortunately, very easy to slip into. So we have to be careful to guard our marriage from any kind of affair, including one that never gets physical. The reality is, we are ALL at risk of having an emotional affair and we should all be putting up safeguards to protect our marriage from the damage of an emotional affair.

RESOURCES

List of Warning Signs You Might Be Having An Emotional Affair:

  • If you daydream about someone of the opposite sex
  • If you compare someone of the opposite sex to your spouse often
  • If you have ever thought of someone of the opposite sex sexually and if you begin to think of them in this way regularly
  • If you are saving topics of conversation for somebody other than your spouse because, in your mind, they understand you better
  • If you are sharing intimate details about your marriage with someone of the opposite sex
  • If you look forward to seeing the other person more than your spouse
  • You’re doing things or saying things with this other person that you wouldn’t want your spouse to see
  • You’re keeping things from your spouse
  • You dress to impress this other person
  • You look for opportunities to get away from your spouse and spend time with this other person
  • You delete messages from this other person so your spouse won’t see
  • Not being content and accepting of your spouse
  • You take selfies of yourself and send it this other person
  • You post pictures of yourself online because you know this other person will see them and like them
