Your opinion is the best answer, in my opinion. The fact that we are discussing a wife's concern here means that the husband probably shouldn't have driven her home in this case.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Inappropriate to be alone?

Some things may be completely innocent. But why invite temptation? I've seen too many broken homes in the Christian community.

Hello
In 1 Thessalonians 5:22 the bible says to avoid even the appearance of evil. No matter if something is innocent and pure, if it can be seen as something inappropriate then it should not be done.
IMO this is a safety mechanism to avoid allegations and gossip. Just as desmalia said.
Mud sticks. There are some allegations that will hang over your heard for a long time, even if found to be untrue.
Amen
This is pretty much along the lines of how I grew up. If you didn't give the gossips anything to talk about, they couldn't gossip.
My husband routinely teaches adult bible classes and sometimes the only pupil he has is a woman. Sometimes because of how our schedules work, he has to have the class in the house rather than church. When this happens, he always alerts one of the elders so that there is someone else aware of the situation. While I am not 100% comfortable with it (because while I trust my husband with my entire soul, I don't necessarily trust other people) I am pleased that he takes the steps that he does.
It stinks that we would have to worry about a pastor being accused of anything with a parishioner to be, but yet, here we are...

It's not appropriate. Paul let's us know about appropriate behavior in Romans 14
Ro 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Ro 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
So we will be held accountable for what we do or say and will give account of that to God. Not to judge one another and not to put a stumbling block or an occsion to fall in the way. Yeah, he's saying toward another brother...but if another brother would fall wouldn't the ones who is leaving the stumbling block?
Then he goes on to speak about eating certain meats. But verse 16 is very important
Ro 14:16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
Yeah, you may be doing something good. But if someone else sees you and then it becomes a stumbling block for that person...you are in the wrong.
So, yeah its unappropriate. Remember our enemy Satan is out seeking to destroy us and he will use whatever means necessary to plant division amongst us and especially marriages. So we can't give him any ammunition to use against us.
