Avoiding Distractions in a Long-Distance Marriage

Not Alone Today Podcast | Season 5 Episode 3

Welcome back to another episode of the Not Alone Today podcast! In this episode, Nike asks a follow-up question to Timothy's question which we treated in the last episode (titled When a Couple's Attraction Wanes). Nike asks,

“How can I maintain focus and keep the attraction alive in my long-distance marriage? I'm feeling emotionally confused and relying on my faith for support. I can't help but notice other attractive guys, but I've accepted the reality of our separation. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Managing three kids alone leaves me exhausted in the evenings, and sometimes I fall asleep before calling him. He always wants to talk, but I can't always find the time. 🫣 What should I do about these distractions and the temptation of other attractive men? 👀😁”
