Synopsis

What happens when the woman at work starts getting parts of you that belong at home?

It may begin with coffee. A private joke. Lunch together. A ride home. A late-night text. Talking about problems in your marriage. Then one day another woman knows your moods, your frustrations, your dreams, and private details about your wife that your wife never knew you shared.

You tell yourself, We are just friends.

But when does friendship cross the line?

Workplace Spouses: When Work Relationships Violate Your Marriage Vows is a short, straight-talking book written especially for Black men who want to protect their marriages, their families, their peace, and their future.

This is not a book against women.

It does not tell men to avoid female coworkers, become cold, or treat women badly.

It is about knowing where the line is before a work friendship becomes secrecy, emotional attachment, sexual temptation, divided loyalty, or betrayal.

Using the Ethiopian Bible as its spiritual foundation, Black Priest Lucious Conway brings ancient truth into the modern workplace.

Joseph faced sexual pressure where he worked.

Boaz had power over a woman working in his field and showed how a man can use authority without exploiting a woman.

David shows what can happen when desire, power, secrecy, and bad choices come together.

Susanna shows the danger of men using position and pressure against a woman.

Sirach, Proverbs, Genesis, and the words of Yesus speak directly to the same things men still face today.

Temptation.

Attention.

Secrecy.

Desire.

Power.

Loyalty.

Choices.

Consequences.

The setting may be different, but the human heart has not changed.

Today the danger may come through text messages, direct messages, lunch breaks, rides home, business trips, private jokes, overtime, workplace flirting, emotional venting, or a coworker who seems to understand you better than your wife.

You do not have to sleep with another woman to begin damaging your marriage.

Sometimes the damage starts much earlier.

It starts when another woman becomes the first person you want to talk to.

It starts when you tell her things about your marriage that should have stayed at home.

It starts when you hide messages.

It starts when you defend the relationship more strongly than you defend your marriage.

It starts when your wife becomes the outsider.

Written in plain, easy-to-read language, Workplace Spouses is for the factory worker, truck driver, mechanic, teacher, security guard, supervisor, businessman, preacher, government worker, and every husband trying to keep his home together.

Each chapter follows the same simple path:

The Situation.

What the Bible Says.

Where the Line Gets Crossed.

What a Man Should Do.

Ask Yourself.

No long lectures.

No complicated church language.

No shame.

Just clear truth a man can use.

This book asks hard questions:

Why does another woman know so much about your wife?

Why are you deleting messages?

Why are you hiding lunch?

Why does she get your best conversation while your wife gets what is left?

Would you be comfortable if your wife had the same relationship with another man?

If something at work has started taking what belongs in your marriage, do not wait until the damage is done.

Stop.

Turn around.

Remember the woman you chose.

Remember the promises you made.

Protect your home before a workplace relationship costs you your wife, your children, your peace, or your future.

Keep your word.

Keep your wife.

Go home.
