Faithfulness and marriage

I've been trying to avoid my Sunday School class for a little bit now. I know, that's not quite right because I really like the people in the group, but sometimes their topics are a little difficult for me. The recent study, "Making Love Last a Lifetime", has been hard because the love I had was supposed to last a lifetime, but we all know how that turned out. Plus, considering how I did the first time, even though it ended (but not in divorce), I've been lucky enough to find love again and it seems like Kevin has the same outlook and goals as I do. Thanks to a good friend, I've been going.  However the last two weeks have been a little sticky in the class discussion department. Last week it was about sex in a marriage. This week was about faithfulness and adultery.  It was a little uncomfortable because some people wanted to make a point by sharing personal things, that even I would not share publicly. Not even on Facebook!

After watching the video, a class discussion ensued. After listening to some of the discussion, I began to wonder about my marriage to Jason. Someone had posed the question that if you thought about it, if the conditions were right would you think about having an affair. In thinking about my marriage with Jason, I honestly couldn't think of a situation where I would consider it. And I've got to tell you, we had some VERY hard times, especially towards the end. I'm pretty sure that Jason didn't consider it either.  So then I got to wondering if I was setting a good example for the kids. You know, when things get tough, you don't give up. You work at it. I think Jason and I did a good job modeling that.  I also think that Kevin and I set a good a example for them. We don't always agree and things get tough, but we work through it and we show the kids that we don't take the easy way out.

The video did get me thinking, and Kevin and I had a good discussion because of it. So, I guess it was good to have gone and seen the video.
