It sounds as if your marriage has been difficult and now there is an additional complication. You asked me, "What do I do?" Is that really your question? I mean this sincerely. I suspect you know what to do and what not to do. The real issue probably is, "Do I want to do what is right?" or "Do I want to do what I want to do since I am afraid of losing this pleasure?" Judith, your marriage may be extremely difficult and very empty. Yet, I have not seen affairs, divorces, etc. fix marriages. I encourage you to read the post today on my friend Joe Beam's blog: <a href="http://joebeam.com/blog/?p=96" rel="nofollow">http://joebeam.com/blog/?p=96</a> I am praying for you that whatever future decisions you make will be right and positive. So glad you left your note. Hi Judith,

It sounds like you are in a real dilemma.

It sounds as if your marriage has been difficult and now there is an additional complication. You asked me, "What do I do?" Is that really your question? I mean this sincerely.

By the way, I think one thing that many churches could do in pre-marital counseling is to schedule a time to get together again with their resource person AFTER marriage.  If this would be arranged before the wedding, it makes it far less awkward for a couple to return later on.

For all the talk about what good marriages look like, churches do a poor job at engaging singles in this conversation I think. Great post.  I love my husband but I so wish we’d have had more counseling before we got married.
