Question
my future wife if very close with a married man in her church,,,,, (assembly of god )  , he is the one that she hooks up with to pray with, she tells me he is helping her pray for our futher marrage. resently though for her birthday we spent a very special weekend together,  ( or I though it was anyway) but sunday evening after she went back home, she lives several miles away, she called me not to tell me how nice a weekend her and I had, but to tell me about a very exciting  once in a lifetime emotional experance she had that evening with this other guy, I felt like the effort I put in to give her a royal treatment for the whole weekend was overshadowed by only a few moments spent with this other guy. people praying together is a very good thing but the mental things that are going on with her and him are causing me some concern. My question to you is how far can men and women go, even in God's house, befor it causes a threat to their relationships with other people.  

Answer
Hi Dwayne

I think you need to discuss this issue with your intended.

Prayer partners can become very close, it doesn't mean it is anything beyond a plutonic relationship, but as it obviously bothers you, it needs to be dealt with before it becomes a bitter root.
