There was a time when I thought life might be easier if I took a new path on my journey. I have since learned that life itself is not easy, no matter the path...It takes courage and conviction to stay the course and to hold onto your character and integrity while honoring your commitments. If you are dabbling in another relationship outside your marriage, I want to encourage you to rethink this, for lives other than your own will be greatly affected by your decisions. I have been there, and it is my sincere hope that as you read these pages, you will see some truths that might cause you to rethink where you are headed. Consider, if you will, that the road ahead will not be as appealing as it might look to you today. Now is the time to consider what you are seeking in your relationship that can be had with a reasonable amount of effort on your part and the part of your spouse.
