Each episode will cover the slow and (sometimes innocent) steps that lead to infidelity if left unchecked. However, this series is also one of encouragement and hope! Today, Gary and Barbie discuss steps 3-6: Innocent Meeting, Intentional Meeting, Public Lingering, and Private Lingering.

Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss Gary and Barbie sharing biblically based, intentional actions every married couple can take to find the “more” in their marriage.

12 Steps to Having an Affair

Week One

1. Readiness
   • Is there a readiness in your spirit or in your spouse's spirit that could lead you to a place you don’t want to go?
2. Alertness
   • Are you aware of/alert of a certain person in your circle who you find yourself drawn to who isn’t your spouse?

Week Two (this episode)

1. Innocent Meeting
   • A chance encounter with someone who you end up mentally/emotionally/spiritually connecting with. Your guard is down.
2. Intentional Meeting
   • You’re looking for this individual when you are at the same events - or you make sure to be at events where they will be present. Your heart is looking for that connection with them.
3. Public Lingering
   • Time spent together in group meetings/settings. You linger together after the meeting has concluded. People will begin to notice your attention towards each other.
4. Private Lingering
   • You lean into more risk-taking and you feel the need to hide your time together.
