Blanket statements tend to detract from your credibility.
I do agree that there ought to be some teaching on couples making time for one another and perhaps traveling together whenever possible...BUT...being apart is NOT an excuse for infidelity. My husband is currently working in Arkansas, so he is gone Sunday - Thursday, and home for a 3-day weekend. Lots of couples are apart on a regular basis...military families, businessmen who need to travel a lot...etc etc...
If there is any "ugly truth" that needs to be exposed, it would be that some folks lack morals, and don't know how to keep their pants zipped and/or their skirts down when their spouse isn't looking. I don't think it has
anything to do with ministers being gone too much. Chances are the same problems would exist even if they were together, if there is so little commitment that time apart leads to adultery. The only connection would be if there is al
ready a problem, then time apart may make it worse, or give opportunity for things that were already desired.
My 2 cents.
