Description

God Was with Jesus
Genesis 39:1-40:8


I previously referred to a man who used to come to talk with me when he had an affair and was inclined to blame the women for throwing themselves at him. But I have known women who were tempted to do that. Sometimes their men were totally preoccupied, and they felt neglected; indeed, they were neglected. In another instance, a woman’s husband had a chronic illness, and it was all he could think about. There was a woman whose husband was simply boring, and there was a man who seemed to be throwing himself at her, making compliments about her appearance, looking as if he was interested in her. Maybe he was, or maybe it was her imagination. Likewise, maybe the man who reckoned women were throwing themselves at him was giving too much scope to his imagination. Maybe it was wish fulfillment. Whether you are the man or the woman, the person inclined to wander or the person who feels someone is showing an interest in you, it may be impossible to know and impossible to raise the question (“Excuse me, I just wondered whether you were angling for an affair . . .”)
