The Hump Day 90 - Is it ever okay for a husband to go to the strip club?

It is never okay for a husband to go to the strip club.
 
A husband's trip to a strip club is a betrayal of trust and a violation of the sacred bond of marriage. It is not okay, and it is never acceptable.
 
A strip club is a place where women are objectified and degraded. It is a place where men go to pay for the attention and affection that they should be getting from their wives.
 
When a husband goes to a strip club, he is telling his wife that she is not enough. He is telling her that he is not satisfied with the love and intimacy that they share.
 
This is a devastating message for a wife to receive. It can damage her self-esteem and make her feel insecure in her marriage - and it is a sin before the Lord.
 
If you are a husband who is considering going to a strip club, please reconsider. Think about the pain that you could cause your wife. Think about the damage that you could do to your marriage.
 
It is not worth it.
 
Instead, focus on strengthening your marriage. Spend time with your wife. Tell her how much you love and appreciate her. Show her that she is the only woman you need.
 
Your marriage is too precious to risk. Don't let a trip to the strip club undermine the foundation of your marriage.
