Privacy in marriage

Quite often I counsel people that want a certain amount of “privacy ” in their marriage.

But this privacy can become a burden and even deadly for a marriage between two seemly decent and committed people.

Another way to label “privacy” is to “hide something”

What I see quite often in these situations is behavioral lifestyles that someone doesn’t want their mate to know about.

It could be alcohol, substances such as drugs or pornography (this is a big one).

The most damaging behavior that a person hides is a sexual relationship with another person besides their mate.

All of this starts with intimate conversation between 2 people, and they don’t want their mate to know about it.

It may seem harmless at first but it quickly transforms into a sexual relationship.

At Fort Worth Christian Counseling we endeavor to learn “why” the secrecy is there to begin with.
