If his wife does not like her that can get complicated something the two of them would have to work out. There have to be boundaries. A married man has to respect his wife's opinion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A person needs to consider that before they get married. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you work with a female you really can not avoid that. If you happen to see a female friend at the grocery store or the bank and ask each other what is happening then that is ok. But if you should ask her to go have coffee with you or go have lunch together I really don't think that is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, what you can't do is ever put yourself into a situation that makes fodder for gossip by anyone nor hurts your spouse. One way is to make sure you are never in a "private" situation with a person that could lead to the appearance of impropriety in the eyes of anyone period. It is not only for your own testimony's sake, but also for any woman's that you have association with, whether at work, church, grocery store, wherever- it doesn't matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiloh357 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 A married man, if his marriage means anything to him, will honor his wife and put her first in everything. In truth, when you have friends of the opposite sex, and are married, it is best to simply cut off any kind of meaningful contact with them unless it is in a couples situation when the spouses of both are present. It is best when married if both parties avoid being alone together even in public in order to avoid the appearance of anything inappropriate. There is a way to have friends of the opposite sex and still honor one's marriage in a godly way without being alone with that person in public or private. It's even harder if you are married, but have a friend of the opposite sex who is not. I have seen many marriages end up on the rocks over stuff like that.

As it seems she is just standing in the background while they are chatting away about the good old days. I would find it rude if my husband did that, and I would be asking him why he didn't introduce me. I could laugh along with them to the old stories too. It is hard to tell by the story if this is just an issue with one person or is his wife like this with everyone. If she is like that with everyone I feel their marriage already has issues. We don't live in a bubble. And if you think your spouse is going to run off with everyone they talk too there is no way you are ever going to have a happy marriage. There is a lot that can be said about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
