I trust my husband implicitly when he's away. And he trusts me. If I didn't trust him, I'd move to Arkansas so I could keep an eye on him while he works. If there are some minister's wives who think their husbands are weak and untrustworthy, then I suggest they travel with them. If their husband objects to their presence, then that would be a big, red flag.
Again, I think the absence of a spouse is an excuse for adultery...not the cause of it.

But c'mon MB ... you must admit that the prolonged absence of a spouse can lead to temptation in many ... a very natural emotional and physical void can develop ... and I for one am a proponent of COMMITMENT.
