Internet Infidelity - Email Affair

With unlimited amounts of information at our finger tips, we can become experts on just about any subject matter.

Unfortunately, the down side is that it has provided yet another avenue for the enemy to destroy marriages.

Think about it. When you and your spouse disagree and you want to leave home to escape for a while, now you don't have to.

You can escape by simply logging into your computer.

There's e-mail, instant messaging, facebook, twitter, myspace, to name just a few.

The reason internet infidelity is so widespread is because it offers a bit of mystery and allure. You're able to freely socialize with someone without the conflicts that come with face to face interaction.

It allows you to enter a world of fantasy.

But don't brush this off as something you should not be concerned about. Internet infidelity is the same as emotional infidelity minus the face to face contact.

But it doesn't always remain a cyber affair; people who are involved in internet affairs or email affairs do eventually meet face to face.

Is it a sin? Yes.

• Is your spouse obsessed with checking e-mail?


• Does your spouse stay on the computer late at night after you've gone to bed?


• Do they quickly minimize the computer screen when you walk into the room?

However, please keep in mind that the above warnings signs are merely a guide. Your spouse could be guilty of all of the items listed above but not be guilty of having an affair.

So, be careful about throwing accusations around.

If you suspect your spouse is engaging in inappropriate behavior with someone on the internet, use wisdom.

Go to them and express your concerns in a Godly manner -- that means no yelling or screaming.

If you discover that there is a problem, first take a deep breath, and then seek help.

Can your marriage survive this? Definitely!

With the right help and spiritual guidance your marriage can survive a cyber space affair.
