Episode 88: When the Heart Wanders - Understanding and Preventing Emotional Affairs in Marriage
Manage episode 489913460 series 3505047
They almost never start with bad intentions.
An inside joke with a coworker. A deep conversation with an old friend. A text you hide from your spouse — just to avoid “overreacting.”
Emotional affairs are quiet intruders. They slip in through cracks we didn’t even know we left open: unmet needs, unresolved conflicts, lonely moments we never talked about.
In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what an emotional affair really is — and what it’s not. We’ll talk about the signs most couples miss, why good people fall into them, and how tiny moments of secrecy can grow into a betrayal of trust just as devastating as a physical affair.
More importantly, you’ll learn how to affair-proof your emotional life: setting wise boundaries, having courageous conversations, and reconnecting with your spouse in ways that make wandering hearts come home.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Could this happen to us?” — don’t miss this one.
Your marriage deserves honesty, intimacy, and protection — and it starts here.
