It was easy in the early stages to couch my interest in her in a spiritual wrapper because I was her pastor. She was attractive, but not at the top of my list. But she bad some sense about her that exuded some sort of feeling of sexuality and sexual interest. It is very hard for me to remember exactly how the physical attraction actually started. “It wasn’t purely a physical thing in the early stages. The physical attraction happened as a result of other things. In fact, when you read in books about the development of an ideal relationship, you read about getting to know someone on a spiritual level, then intellectual, then emotional, and finally sexual. That is really the order in which the relationship developed. The process took over four years. It would be nice if married couples would take” “Married Christian man after involvement with single woman at work: “In the office there is a lot of contact between the men and women. For the most part it is professional, but, as in any other situation, one encounters a lot of daily frustrations, and you deal with the problems at work, but personal problems also come into play. There’s a particular point where you start talking to people, which begins as a harmless friendship. Then you cross over another line and become more dependent upon one another. You start talking about personal things in your life, and that dependency, unless it’s checked and kept in its proper perspective, will continue to grow Pretty soon, the result is an emotional attachment. That attachment can become preoccupying and lead people to do strange things ” “Married Christian man after emotional involvement with single woman at work. “There’s a tendency with an emotional attachment to start rationalizing your behavior. You rationalize and deny that anything is wrong. You think that you are in total control of your actions. In reality you are totally out of control ” Emotional adultery is as damaging as physical adultery People aren’t expecting to get involved emotionally. It starts out in a very subtle way. An affair isn’t likely to start just out of physical lust. I think emotional attachment is a very frequent occurrence—and a very dangerous one “ “Christian pastor whose relationship with married woman went from professional to emotional: “Here was a woman who had needs, and I had a need to meet her needs. So, she began to share with me difficulties she was having in her own marriage I felt very compassionate I saw a number of qualities in her that 1 began to admire. Over a period of time, 1 began to think her husband was a jerk because he wasn’t appreciating those things. She was an intellectual stimulation to me in return. So our relationship developed over a period of time from pastor to friend, and finally we both knew it was more than that. You know, there are all these coy little games that one can play by sending all these nonverbal messages. We got more and more involved in doing that sort of thing. Nothing was overt enough to be noticed by anyone else.” “Professional Christian woman: “1 became very attached to my boss. He was married and a committed Christian. We never had an affair, but my own emotional attachment to him caused me a lot of pain. I thought about him all the time, hated weekends when I was alone and be was with his family, and finally realized that I was living in a painful cross between fantasy and reality Circumstances caused me to leave that job for another. It still took a long time to break the emotional dependency I had.” Key verses for Today: Genesis 39:6-7 The Message (MSG) 2-6 As it turned out, God was with Joseph and things went very well with him. He ended up living in the home of his Egyptian master. His master recognized that God was with him, saw that God was working for good in everything he did. He became very fond of Joseph and made him his personal aide. He put him in charge of all his personal affairs, turning everything over to him. From that moment on, God blessed the home of the Egyptian—all because of Joseph. The blessing of God spread over everything he owned, at home and in the fields, and all Potiphar had to concern himself with was eating three meals a day. 6-7 Joseph was a strikingly handsome man. As time went on, his master’s wife became infatuated with Joseph and one day said, “Sleep with me.” 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 The Message (MSG) 11-12 These are all warning markers—danger!—in our
