Are you at risk of adultery?

Dave Carder has over 30 years experience counseling couples facing adultery. He also does work in helping prevent adultery, which in our society has become more challenging AND more critical. I've mentioned this before, but he's written a book called, Close Calls:What Adulterers Want You to Know About Protecting Your Marriage, that shares the wisdom he has learned from "adulterers" over the past 30 years. I am on Chapter 4, and the book so far is excellent. God is using it to continually increase my clarity and understanding about my own adultery. For that I am grateful.

Here is a High Risk Factor Checklist he put together in his book. It is a great resource to help you determine if you or your spouse may be at risk of adultery. Since it's copyrighted material, it's best to use it for personal discovery and insights, while also purchasing the book to help make sense of it.

Prevention is so important. Having the courage to look inward at see what areas of your heart and life are vulnerable is a huge part of prevention and recovery. We are all capable of committing adultery. However, in Christ, we are also able to NOT commit adultery. OR if you've gone down that path of destruction, then CAN recover from it well, and honor Christ in the process.
