| Ask Ms. Aleta | | Every month, Ms. Aleta will be answering your questions about adolescents, marriage or family. This month's question: What do you consider infidelity in a marriage?
Answer: The commitment needed in a marriage is for both parties to be faithful to each other. However, there is an ever increasing number of couples who experience infidelity in a marriage. And it's not just an extramarital affair that is considered infidelity. Here are other topics of concern: -
Emotional infidelity where one spouse forms a strong emotional bond with another outside the marriage. -
Online infidelity where a spouse forms a relationship or friendship with someone via the Internet. -
Pornography where there is an addiction and the partner spends more time with that then their spouse.
Aleta Curry, MA, is a care pastor at Mt. Zion Church in Clarkston, Michigan. She is a graduate of WSU and CMU. She is also a Marriage and Family Coach for the Marriage Resource Center. |
