CO-HOST: Pat, this is from Anne who says, “My husband has always been a flirt and loves to talk with other women he finds attractive. He says he would never cheat on me but his actions are starting to get to me. What should I do?”
ROBERTSON: Anne, first thing is you need to make yourself as attractive as possible and don’t hassle him about it. And why is he doing this? Well, he’s doing it because he wants affirmation that he is still a man, that he is attractive — and he gets an affirmation of himself. That means he’s got an inferiority complex that’s coming out. And he’s not gonna cheat on you. He’s just playing.
But you need to not drive him away or start hassling and hounding on him, but make yourself as beautiful as you can, as fun as you can, and say let’s go out here, let’s go there, let’s go to the other thing.*Sigh* I don't know where to begin. "Make yourself more attractive and don't hassle him?" Seriously, that's your answer? Anne, I doubt you are reading this blog, but do not take this advice. Hassle your husband about it. Tell him you don't like it. Also, Christ seems to disagree with Robertson here.
You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.Now, I can only think of one reason to knowingly flirt with a member of the opposite sex...and it isn't for the conversation.
Pop culture tells us it is ok to flirt, even if your married. Christ tells us otherwise, that we still commit adultery. If my wife caught me flirting with another woman, I think she might castrate me.
