E7: Opposite sex relationships: How close is too close?

Boundaries 1: Opposite Sex Relationships

 

Could you cheat on your spouse? 

 

In this episode of the Dream Marriage Podcast, Brian and Allison Dalke discuss appropriate boundaries between the opposite sex for married couples. 

 

This conversation starts with the question, “Could you cheat on your spouse?” When they ask each other, Allison and Brian both answer, “YES!” And the reality is ANYONE could cheat on their spouse. Unfortunately, the lack of boundaries with the opposite sex is often how affairs start.   

 

It’s unavoidable these days for men and women to co-mingle. They work together, go to their kids school events together, and so many other things. However, because men and women often see the precursor to sexual intimacy very differently, the lines get blurry on what is/isn’t appropriate between them. While this is tricky, it is possible to navigate it well.

 

They discuss what it looks like to have boundaries around relationships with the opposite sex and why those clear boundaries are necessary.

 

“As a leader, you are always going to get a combination of two things: What you create and what you allow.”- Dr. Henry Cloud 

 

Psalm 16:6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance. 

 

The Dalkes share the boundaries they have within their marriage and how those boundaries have created so much freedom, trust and peace.
