She's Married to Another Man
===============================================

Q: Here's the situation: The Long of the Short of it is that it involves a married woman and me.
The Facts: 

1) We both attend church aggressively. 
2) We both are sincere in our pursuit of Christ. 
3) Neither of us planned on being attracted to one another.
4) We've never gone out or have done anything outside of the church context (i.e. bible study, volunteering at church activities, Sunday morning worship) 
5) We've never kissed/hugged or anything wild like that. 
6) We used to talk on the phone a lot, but, the spirit had me put an end to that after it started generating feelings (the married woman agreeably obliged) 
7) Her husband never attends church. 
8) They're having problems with their marriage and he won't attend counseling of any kind with her. 
9) Consequently, they are getting a divorce. 
10) Before we stopped talking to one another, she mentioned that she felt I was supposed to be her husband from the moment she saw me. I admitted the same feeling. 
11) She is the only woman I've ever met with the same diet as me (super healthy and mostly vegetarian) who loves Christ and not Amen-Ra or "The Creator" or something along those lines. 
12) I've felt choked since I've not been able to engage in discourse with her. 
13) She seems to have a good spiritual/practical equilibrium. I've not been able to find this blend in my search for a wife. 
14) She has a young child. 
15) We get along great!

Question: Could God be bringing us together (after her divorce of course) or is this a situation that I need to hit the ground runnin' away from? (I probably never should've befriended a married woman, but, I honestly didn't see this comin')
Simply put, is this to be or not to be?
 
from the Mountain:

You are the same man that asked about evolution. This one is more complicated than creation, and for you, it has infinitely more consequences. No matter what the truth of creation is, that's not really going to affect your life, this will.

I can give you one clear course of action. DO NOT become a factor in her decision to leave her husband. When a woman has a more attractive option, her current situation starts to look worse and worse. I have seen cases where women had a very good husband but the other man appeared to be better. In most marriages, the dating and romance spark has left so a new romance is thrilling. 

Men as a very general rule seek sex, women seek romance.

If she believes that you will be there waiting on her that will influence her to leave her husband. 

This you must not do. If she leaves her husband it must be on her own accord as if you are not in the picture. Otherwise you become a party to the breakup of that couple.
I can describe this woman to you in one word, 

"Perfect" 

That's the word isn't it? 

I thought so.

She's just perfect and you are wondering why couldn't you have met her before she married?
How did I know that? I just did. 
Maybe one day I will deliver a sermon on that but for now you need to cut ALL communication, and don't answer her e-mails. 

She MUST Not feel as though you will be there waiting for her if she leaves her husband, you must not have a part in that, the negative spiritual penalty is too great.

I was writing a book on Sex after I wrote Quick Fasting. I did a lot of Biblical research on what the 

Bible said and didn't say concerning sex. Some of the stuff would shock most Christians, that is why I've never published the book.

The major sexual sin was any man sleeping with another man's wife. That was punishable by death of both the man and the woman.

The area that challenges you is a great spiritual violation. Do not contribute to her leaving her husband, no matter how bad he may sound and no matter how good she may sound. That I can absolutely tell you without wavering. Don't let her think you will be waiting. That will make you a party to a divorce.

If she divorces her husband without you being a factor then I will advise you from there but for now, tell her that you are going away. If you frequent the same places then change the places. Don't even worship together. Trust me on this. This can get to be a real doozy if you get caught up in it. It is almost worse than dope.

You need to change churches because no matter how good the minister is, you will be distracted and will not truly receive the message, you will be thinking about her.

Run, don’t walk, away from what appears to be perfection.
