If you and your spouse have isolated yourselves due to your partner's sexual sin, you may be tempted to be your spouse's accountability partner. That means YOU get a text when he looks at something inappropriate on his cellphone, YOU ask him about his purity, and YOU make sure he's going to his recovery group. If so, you're probably wondering why this is only causing MORE strife in your relationship and creating MORE distrust and distance.

In this episode of the Hope for Spouses' Lunchtime Live, Kim discusses the unhealthy dynamic created by you leading a role in your spouse's life you were never meant to fulfill, that of accountability partner. She'll also reveal the hidden motives behind a betrayed wife's need to know about her husband's internal life, and God's perfect design for accountability.

John 3:19-21 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

Isaiah 54:8-9 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean NOT on your OWN understanding; in all your ways acknowledge HIM, and HE will make your paths straight. Psalm 90:8 "You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence."
