If you kissed her thinking about all the rest that could come after then you have truly lusted in your heart and that is the same as adultery. If you were just weak in a moment or two and kissed her then what should be done is up to you and I believe in this case you and your Bishop.[/b]

Of course, there is a sense in which this is true. My guess is that whenever a married man kisses another woman there has to be some sense of lust in the heart, and the need for repentence is real and severe. On the other hand, if a wife finds out her husband kissed another woman, she does not have scriptural grounds for divorce. So, if this woman is so fragil in her faith and her relationship with her husband, that she has already threatened that divorce would be the result--wise counsel from a bishop, or a counselor sensitive to your faith, should be the first action.

As for it all being revealed later in the afterlife that is only if you have not truly repented. If we are fully repentant then though our sins be crimson we shall be white as snow and the book of life wiped clean. I am hoping to only have good things written in the book by living a constantly repentant life.[/b]

I'm of a view that if are sins are forgiven and cast as far as the East is from the West, that such will not be held against us in the kingdom to come.
