Nobody plans to have an affair on their wedding day—yet nearly 50% of all marriages experience this reality at some point. The truth is we are not immune to divorce, infidelity, and adultery. In fact, as Christians, we are called to be on guard against these threats hurled against our marriage. In this episode, Dale and Veronica Partridge share the three rules they use to create an affair-proof marriage.
