A spiritual rift is when the presence of God is not found in the life of a person. The person becomes less than what they are supposed to be.
''accidentally''?
Ah, the new loopholes of Christianity.
According to Matthew 5:28
"But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
The words would have it apply to a married man having sexual thoughts of another woman, but I had it apply to myself that if I ever had such thoughts of a married woman. And yes I did have such thoughts, but the accident was I did not know she was married (no wedding ring) and never talked about her family.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
