Open Marriage

Monday Devotion

“I have chosen the way of faithfulness.”

Psalm 119:30

“Gary, do you have anything you want to tell me about?”

“No.”

“Nothing about where you went between getting your haircut and picking up Allison at the bus stop?”

“No, not that I can think of.”

“I found the evidence.  Graham [our son] saw it in your car.”

“You know,” I said, rising to my own defense, “some wives expect to find other women’s phone numbers or maybe magazines lying around.  But an empty Starbucks cup?”

Lisa laughed, but in truth, I do spend more money than I should at Starbucks.  We had just bought our own espresso machine, hoping to cut down on the expense, but I was out and about on a winter day, had an extra ten minutes, and could taste the relief even before I bought it.

This episode provided just another reminder that everything I do, I do in front of my spouse.
