Another example of #doublelife hit the news recently. The governor of California has revealed he has a 10 year old secret child. Here is a man that gave the appearance of a faithful man. There were some indications of problems earlier when he was accused of groping women while he was acting in films.
A secret life of a man who is on the go, on the road, and been married for 20+ years does not surprise me. Men who travel sometimes operate under a 2nd set of rules that only apply when away from home. There is an extremely high level of porn addiction, gambling problems, alcohol
Abuse, and infidelity. Men who lead a sinful life while away can come home and integrate back into their families for the few days they are home, always anticipating the next trip away.
So the governor's secret affair and secret child comes as no surprise. I do believe this marriage can be saved, as I do believe that with 90% of marriage issues. The question is (as it usually is) are they willing to do the work that many have opted not to do. Are they willing to allow Christ to heal and restore?
What are your thoughts on the issues that traveling men face?
