Is it wrong to find someone attractive when you’re already married—and when does attraction cross the line into lust?In this episode of Beyond I Do, Adam and Ashlee talk honestly about attraction, jealousy, temptation, intimacy, and the boundaries that protect a marriage. They unpack the difference between simply recognizing that someone is attractive and allowing that attraction to become fantasy, emotional connection, or something that begins creating distance from your spouse.They also share how past relationships and unresolved trauma affected the early years of their own marriage, and why healthy boundaries need to be established **before** temptation becomes a serious problem.Because affairs rarely begin with one huge decision—they usually begin with small compromises that feel harmless at first.--Get the Acts Study Guide at adammesa.org--Join our study on the book of Acts on our Bible Club Podcast!https://www.youtube.com/@bibleclubpodcast--Have a question about relationships?
