Clara, a young happily married woman has a dream job in a blue chip company. One of the things she had going for her apart from being extremely attractive was her competence and diligence. Her life was the perfect picture as far as she was concerned, until she was transferred to another department. It was not the job description that was her problem, it was the chemistry that existed between her and her new boss. John was suave, witty, intelligent and good looking. Clara did not feel she had a problem with her husband until John who was a more mature and experienced man began to shower her with compliments and attention. Initially, Clara was in control but after a while, she looked forward to the time they had together and she began to dress up deliberately to suit his taste. The seemingly innocent friendship became a secret smile here, more intense conversations and a flirtatious touch there. Clara is a Christian and she has increasingly become uncomfortable with the way things are heating up between her and her boss. Her thoughts are: When does this heart affair become adultery? What exactly is adultery? What are its causes and consequences?
I live with a man to whom I am not officially married and also have children for him. I desire to end the relationship but he will not let me go with the children. This always causes a fight between us and I am so unhappy. What can I do?
Answer:As the head of the home, how do you effectively set up and manage a family altar? What is the suggested frequency and time?
Answer:
The first step to having an effective family altar is to have a set time. This is because there is a tendency to go beyond time whenever you do a teaching of the scriptures. When this becomes a common occurrence, the children especially would begin to avoid the family altar because it goes on for too long. They look for ways of escape not because they don't enjoy what you shared, but because you don't have specific time duration.
