For Stronger Marriage - Reasons To Stay Married After An Affair.

The initial emotional responses to learning of a spousal extramarital affair can be all-engulfing. Naturally, you are the last one to learn about it. And now you know. Everything your life has been based on for years is now in question. You feel you can’t possibly go on together now that pain, sorrow, and anger are overwhelming you. You ask yourself endlessly why the person you married out of love doesn’t feel the same emotions regarding your marriage as you still feel despite the passage of time. But perhaps it doesn’t have to mean the ending of your marriage.

So are their reasons to stay married after an affair? Yes, there are. Have you ever looked at another person and lusted? Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be with another lover? Maybe you have unintentionally flirted with one of those people. The point is, we are all human. We make mistakes, but we learn from those mistakes.

Here is a reason to stay married after an affair: Learning from mistakes makes as stronger. If we do it together as a couple, it makes our marriage stronger. Any problem, any issue, any pitfall or disaster that you work through as a united team will build your marriage and your relationship up.

Whether you are the one who strayed or your partner, if you have the strength to build your marriage up after this, it will be stronger than ever. If the partner who had an affair is truly regretful of what they did, the marriage can survive.

In trying to determine whether or not to end an affair, a good place to begin is asking oneself why they began the affair in the first place. What emotions encompassed the beginning of the affair? Do you feel guilty, and if so, why did you feel this guilt? There could be any number of reasons, including not wanting to end your marriage, not wanting to hurt your spouse, or perhaps, because you really do love your partner. Together, you have been building a marriage and a life.

Granted, marriage is not forever filled with newness and excitement. Over time, no one knows you better than your spouse. Right now you are enjoying the intrigue and the danger of having this affair. But what happens later? As occurred in your marriage, with time, the sensation of newness and mystery fades into something more familiar. And when the feelings in the affair fade, as they will surely do, the thrill of it all will be ended as well. It is then that your spouse will be someone you want in your corner, the person who love. Act now, not when it is too late.

Another good reason to end the infidelity is because no one knows you like your spouse, the person you have lived with for years on end, who has seen you at your best and at your worst. Despite hard times, they have remained with you. They love you, and you still love them. This ugly dishonest relationship on the side is driving a wedge between the both of you. You need to stop it.

If you both have the strength and endurance to get past the affair, then you will survive. Your love for each other will grow deeper. You married each other for a reason and that is why you will stay married.

Marriage Records County Search

People are generally resigned to having their vital information officially recorded by the government. A great deal of resources is channeled into gathering and managing these records. In the Information Age, it is seen as a required mark of sound democratic governance. This information resource is also not solely reserved for government use only. The public has the right of access to many of the government records too. One example is Public Marriage Records.

Both the license and certificate are entered as marriage records into the respective files of the new spouses. They will then be maintained as public records at the county or state where the marriage has taken place, whichever is the prevailing practice. Being public records, they will be subject to public retrieval and view as long as procedures are complied with and fees are paid.

Since marriages are under state jurisdiction, they will be no exception. At a basic level, they include name, age, residence, occupation, birth place, time and place of marriage, some particulars of parents, witnesses and the conducting official of the ceremony. A key point fundamental to the purpose of many a marriage record search is previous marriages, if any, will show up.

It is easy and convenient to conduct a online marriage records county search nowadays. Data archive and retrieval are mostly computerized. Whether it’s done on-site or online, it is fast and generally hassle-free. Within minutes, we can gather records on marital status, names, places, dates, filing numbers, history, background and so forth. Input requirement is also minimal. As little as a full name and state of residence will suffice to initiate a search. Having said that, we also know there can be quite a few people with the same name living in the same state. That’s why the more information is input, such as age, date of birth, address and so forth, the more targeted the finding.

There are basically two types of service we can turn to for marriage record search, the free marriage records and the paid providers. Free services tend to be discrete and scattered so it can be quite time-consuming and tedious. Paid versions come at different levels of professionalism. The better rated ones can deliver very comprehensive reports. Over and above public resources, many have access to private and privileged databases.

Conducting marriage records search is often contentious. Except for super-snoops, people have better things to do than prying others’ private lives. It is usually done on those who are more than acquaintance, and ironically with whom we relate with fondness. Inherently, it infringes the expectation of trust. Tussle between the sense and the feelings, there is never an outright correct answer.

Moody Press: True To Scripture?

July 17, 2008 by Daniel LaLond Jr. · Leave a Comment 

by Daniel LaLond Jr.

Moody Press, which boasts of being, “The Name You Can Trust,” is an alleged Christian publishing house. As such, they pride themselves in publishing books that are true to scripture, Christ and His gospel. Multitudes worldwide, however, who rest their eternal hopes on the teaching published by “The Name You Can Trust” might be shocked to find that Moody Press should not be trusted.

By way of example, Moody Press published How Can You Be Sure That You Will Spend Eternity With God (Chicago: Moody Press, 1996) by Erwin W. Lutzer. And in this book, spread around the globe by Moody Press, Dr. Lutzer wrote:

The question is not whether we can remember the day or the hour in the past, but whether our faith is in Christ in the present. Are we now persuaded that Christ met all of our obligations for us when he died on the cross (p. 129).

If you, my friend, are convinced in your heart that Christ paid your debt, and you are resting your eternal soul on Christ and nothing else, you too are saved (p. 115).

At first glance such teaching actually seems quite scriptural. Who in their right mind would argue against the idea that saving faith must be directed to Christ alone? Nonetheless, under color of exalting Christ, Dr. Lutzer and Moody Press may actually dethrone Christ.

You see, in accordance with Dr. Lutzer’s teaching Christ alone is often rhetorical code meaning that an alleged Christian who rejects the faith or even seeks salvation through some way other than through Christ alone will still tread on streets of gold. That is, “Christ alone” means that no works (in kind or degree) ever affects salvation–even rejecting the gospel and “Christ alone.” What? You might think, we’re only saved by “Christ alone,” but those who reject “Christ alone” are yet saved? Ridiculous I know, but this is Lutzer’s position. Allow me to illustrate, kindly consider Hebrews 6:4-6:

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Now, regarding this passage Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer writes and Moody Press publishes:

We have to admit the author is talking about true Christians in this passage…Yes, believers can “fall away”… they were beginning to doubt whether Christ was fully sufficient… The point is that so long as they were returning to the Old Testament sacrifices, they could not be brought back to repentance. Understandably, they could not be brought back to fellowship with God while they were offering lambs on the alter… Yes, believers can fall away, but not to eternal damnation (p. 150).

Unbelieving believers who sacrifice animals on pagan altars will be saved? Is it harmonious to teach on the one hand that “a wrong faith leads to destruction” yet on the other to promise heaven to those who abandon the faith altogether and prove it by sacrificing animals on pagan altars for the forgiveness of sins? We are saved by Christ alone, insists Dr. Lutzer, yet the blatant abomination and no faith of Christ rejecters still leads to paradise? Ridiculous contradiction!

Dr. Lutzer’s rhetoric is just that - meaningless rhetoric. Contradictions are the clearest evidence of error and misinterpretation. Moody Press and Dr. Lutzer have grievously erred on basic principles. Do not be duped by “The Name You Can Trust.” Moody Publishers can not be trusted.

Infidelity Cheats Our Children

July 17, 2008 by Alex Archer · Leave a Comment

Extra marital affairs are unfortunately all too common these days. You hear about them everywhere; from your favorite Tv show to celebrity gossip magazines to whispers around the water cooler at the office. Do you ever think about the debilitating effects that infidelity has on our society? Can all of this duplicitious behavior be good for our emotional health as a people?

The ten commandments forbid infidelity in the eyes of the man upstairs. So even in biblical times married people was stricken with a case of the wandering eye. Adultery in ancient times was often met with public humiliation or evena horrible death at the hands of the public.

Although we may kid ourselves that we have progressed since then, most of the problems that society faced then are still with us now. Infidelity is like a stone dropped into a pond; and its effects can encompass both friends and family.

Children often feel the effects of this more than anyone. They see their parents as role models on whom they shape their actions and behaviours in adult life. Seeing their parents deceive and lie to one another is unlikely to help them treat others well in later life.

Divorce is often the outome of an extra marital affair. This damages the moral fibre of our country. If solemn marriage vows are viewed on a \”when it suits me\” basis, this can only negatethe reasons for making a marriage work.

Maybe more a more common way of dealing with infidelity is to try and work the marriage out and not tell the children of a parent’s philandering ways. Often these marriages become bitter vicious circles of mistrust and anger and provide a poor example of how adults should act and what life as a family should be.

Deceit and duplicity, encountered in their own family and all the way up to the Whitehouse provide a skewed learning environment. Our children are our future and to immerse them in weak and deceitful relationships bodes ill for our society’s future.

The men and women of our nation should be encouraged take their marriage vows seriously; they are there for good historical and societal reasons. This would help our country by producing healthier, happy people and ensure our kids grow up in a more secure environment

Divorce usually means youall be out not only psychologically, but also monetarily. Itas becoming increasingly difficult for the average Joe to afford a quality lawyer, as rates are climbing. Rates these days for a proper lawyer range anywhere from $75 an hour to a whopping $450 an hour, depending on the extent of service.

A number of legal representatives will necessitate a considerable allowance from the start varying from $500-$10,000, according to your financial assets. If you have a lot of nice things, savings, and so forth, expect an increased fee, as the notary will deem you have a great deal of items to battle your spouse over. Divorce wreaks havoc on everyone involved, unless youare the one that went to law school.

Divorce is a billon-dollar business and the top people in charge of handling it reign supreme. You are only one person in this market looking for your customer service, and all types of surcharges will be involved. Label yourself fortunate if you get out of your divorce with much to show thanks to this all-encompassing business giant.

After looking at the pros and cons of the high cost of divorce, financially, or emotionally you may reconsider and try to resolve your differences in counseling or couples therapy. There are some things to consider when trying to work on reconciling; if a spouse has had an affair and the other was hurt by an affair then the feelings may be too strong to overcome.

A stay of separation is usually best in these situations to allow both spouses the time they need to decide if they are able to move on and work on reconciling. It is difficult to get in touch with your feelings while living with the spouse, the one that was hurt will be angry and demanding of answers and find no comfort in them after hearing them, the one who hurt the other devotes their time to apologizing, answering all the questions and begging for forgiveness until growing angry and bitter themselves upon not receiving it.

With the high cost of divorce, financially, or emotionally comes another cost, the reality that you are now alone and sometimes after a long marriage this can be a very depressing time. It is hard to adjust to being without your mate, no matter how much they irritated you, you will still miss them.

Your life will be quite different and youall need to figure out how to accept the changes. Perhaps youall be living in a studio rather than a house or youall be without your children; consider such aspects before you decide to file.

To overcome the financial and emotional burdens that divorce brings you may have to get a second job, cut out pleasures like seeing movies and eating out, this will make it hard to meet new people or to begin dating while your pocket book is on lock down so to overcome the emotional side of it, surround yourself with family and friends and maybe take in a support group, those are free and you can listen to how others are adjusting in your situation and maybe even make a new friend.

Marriage failures can be attributed to many causes: compatibility, age, maturity, money, career, character and so on and so forth.

You can expect to pay upwards of $75 an hour for a decent attorney, the better the attorney the higher that rate will climb and does it climb, sometimes reaching $450 an hour.

Some attorneys will require a hefty retainer upfront that could be from $500 - $10,000 depending on your financial portfolio. The more property, stocks, bonds, or other assets you possess the larger the retainer will be due to the fact the attorney will assume there will be more to fight about.
