My boss’ sudden interest in my welfare became rather uncomfortable. I sought counsel from my friend who encouraged me that I should reciprocate. He gave me a lecture. He summarized by saying “she probably just likes you, but on the other hand, if it’s some kind of overture, then go for it.. plenty of fun and funding.

With time, I became interested and started giving her attention. She responded as expected and before long we were constantly meeting at different hotels. I ensured she didn’t lack attention, love and warmth, and she ensured my pocket was always lined and my promotion came regularly.

One day, her husband suddenly came up with a holiday plan just for the two of them. She was reluctant to go, saying she will miss my company. Eventually she did but came back a changed person. She announced the end of our affair; she topped the announcement with a letter of transfer to another department saying “she has told her husband the truth about us. He has forgiven her and now, they are both willing to work on their marriage”.

Prov 14:1 says “the wise woman builds her house, but the foolish pulls it down with her hands”. You might say “my husband is irresponsible”, yes, he might be but you take the cue for being responsible. Wise woman, take a stand and build up your home, irrespective of your husband’s behavior.

Any act of infidelity opens up the home to the devil’s attack. More importantly is that the Lord only commands his blessings in the place of unity. Heb 13:4 says “Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.”

The truth of the matter is you can prayerful and instructively take back all that’s yours from the devil (the enemy). You have what it takes to take charge of the atmosphere in your home.

Remember, your husband is not the enemy.

Build your home with love, care and prayers, Wise Woman…..
