I did a deposition today in a divorce case. Parties were in their late 40's, early 50's. Children were either away at college or married. Both evangelicals who regularly attended church. Husband is cheating. In the deposition I asked him what led to the affair. He stated that three years ago when their youngest left for college he attempted to upgrade their sex life from more than three or four times a year. He said wife informed him that they were beyond that stage of their lives and o just get over it. He stated that she has now adopted a prudish attitude toward anything sexual. The few times that she did give in she was in a hurry to get it over with. He met a woman who is 5 years younger than he is, 10lbs heavier than his wife and evidently a wildcat in the sack. He was quick to state that his wife used to be. He also stated that he had begged, pleaded, suggested counseling and hormone replacement all to no avail.
This is the third divorce with similar circumstances that I've handled with similar circumstances in the past 6 months. The last husband said that they went to a Christian counselor but bailed after same refused to address any issues that he had with the wife. he said that all he wanted was for someone to deal with both of them in an impartial manner.
Our churches are messing up somewhere in dealing with this area. It's only getting worse. What do we do?
