When Your Friendships Turn Emotional....

Platonic relationships are most threatening when a Marriage is weakened.... When that relationship becomes the relationship where you feel good & your marriage is simply where you live out your daily routine... It is easy for an emotional affair to begin...

In an emotional affair, you:

Rely on your “friend” for emotional support more than your spouse. You share very personal information and feel an intense caring for the person. If you are in love with him or her, there's a very good chance that you are you are in an emotional affair.

Hide the extent of your friendship. Perhaps your spouse knows about your friend, but you are selective in what you share concerning certain details of your friendship.

Feel sexual tension — even if you don’t act on it. For example, you might notice that you and your friend touch differently when others are not around. Are very affectionate towards one another. This is extremely destructive to marriages.

Your marriage can be at risk if either partner is not satisfied with some aspect of the relationship that he or she feels is important. Of course, a marriage is also at risk if either spouse is not fully committed to it.

Making Love Better TwoGether says that you are committed to the commitment. Understanding that Marriage is one of the most important relationships that people have. It is well worth your time and energy to INVEST in your relationship to fully maintain a strong and healthy marriage. Be PRESENT in the moments of your relationship, spend quality time.
