- All right, we've got some questions.
- We've got email.- Amen.
- Teresa says, "I think myhusband is having an affair.
We don't speak; he sleepson his side of the bed.
We own a business, buthe does the finances.
I don't know when we getpaid, how much or from whom.
He tells me that this is his house,
and that I'm the one who needs to leave.
Is it okay with God if I get a divorce?"
- Oh, you know Teresa, Idon't see any ground there,
in the Bible that says,
my husband sleeps onthe far side of the bed
that I can therefore get a divorce.
I don't see that as a groundin the Bible for divorce.
You didn't say he's unfaithful.
You didn't say he beats you up or anything
but apparently he'sbeing a little distant.
I do think what you need issome marriage counseling,
and the whole idea of
husband's not sharingeverything with their wives,
I don't know, apparentlyhe's looking after you.
You're being cared for.
Your needs are being met financially,
so, I mean, he's not beating you up.
You've got a lot of things going for you
that a lot of women don't have,
but I do think that maybeyou could get somebody to
bring you together.
There needs to be some rekindling of love
in that relationship, butdivorce isn't the answer, okay.
- She's says I think myhusband is having an affair.
Women know, Pat.
(Pat laughing)- Well, look..
I think jealousy is oneof those seven deadly sins
and I think it's based on suspicion.
You know, Otello...- Yeah.
- You need proof beforeyou go for divorce.
- The whole plot of Otello wasthat the Moor killed his wife
because he thought she wasunfaithful, and she wasn't.
- So, make sure before you go for divorce.
That's the moral.- I don't think,
I don't think you've got it there, okay.
- All right, here's Constance.
"Because of COVID, my husband and I
have not been out to dance and socialize
in more than a year.
He really wants us toreturn to our dancing
every Saturday night, butI'm not sure we should.
If we do not consume alcoholic beverages,
and our conduct is appropriate,are we displeasing God
or grieving His Holy Spirit by dancing?"
- You know the Bible saysDavid danced before the Lord.
One missionary once said,
"Will you go to heaven if you dance?"
And he said, "I don't knowhow you can get to heaven
without dancing."
There's nothing wrong with dancing
especially with yourhusband and your wife.
You're not displease anybody
to go out and enjoy yourselves.
- I danced with my husbandlast night in the kitchen.
- Yeah, well that's, wherever.- You know.
- A little music,(cohost laughing)
It's romantic and you need to rekindle
the spark in your life,
of course go out and enjoy yourself.
