The dissolution of a marriage cannot be a sudden occurrence. It would usually start with a little issue here and a little issue there. When these problems are not tackled, regardless of how minor you may suppose they are, they end up becoming major enough to cause an outright dissolution of a previously loving relationship.
We would in this article be examining emotional affair with a member of the opposite gender who is not your spouse. Because this type of affair doesn't immediately have physical intimacy, a lot of people take it lightly. It has been shown that over half of such affairs result in physical intimacy.
We need to start from the beginning by asking a question. What is an emotional affair? A relationship that solely involves just emotional intimacy is defined as an emotional affair.
From the explanation above, we would see that this involves committing much emotional energy into a relationship other than your marriage. The mere fact that individual involved in this finds nothing wrong in it is by itself a major problem. This response is actually a proof that the individual is in denial.
If you would ever find an individual who faced this issue but overcame it maybe through marriage counseling or any other means, they always have this common thing to confess. Deep down in their hearts, there was always guilt. It a lot of times was a feeling that they were cheating on their partners. It is because of this sense of guilt that many of them lash out in anger if the spouse brings up the affair.
This kind of affair is a silent marriage destroyer. To avoid problems, it should be nipped at the bud.
While thinking about this issue, one is tempted to ask this question. What can push people into this type of affair?
One of the simplest ways for something like this to start is if there is insufficient communication between couples. It usually starts when an outsider starts giving much attention to a spouse who does not enjoy that attention at home.
One thing that each party in a marriage desires is emotional companionship. If this is not found in a marriage union, the temptation to seek this security outside can arise. The danger in this type of affair is that it starts as an innocent friendship.
How can this be stopped?
The first thing that would help is being aware of the possibility and guarding against it. It would not always be easy, but we should be willing to make the attempt if we really love our marriage. When communication starts to dwindle in a marriage, extra effort should be made to reactivate it. Once a couple does not communicate well, they are likely to split up.
When there is proper communication, it's almost not possible for emotional needs not to be satisfied. It's necessary that emphasis is laid on the quality of the communication. A spouse can freely tell the other what they need and their deep feelings.
There is one solution I know that may help keep people out of emotional affairs. Always speak of your spouse. Whenever you are faced with a member of the opposite sex you know is giving you a lot of attention, bombard them with tales of the wonders of your husband or wife.
When this person is always hearing of your spouse, the probability that they could tire and retreat becomes very high. Do not forget that maintaining very real communication is of the utmost value to your marriage.
