As you well know, adultery is extremely prevelant and common in the world. There are even websites that promote cheating on your spouse. We all know that adultery is considered a sin and is one of the 10 commandments. What you might not know is that in Matthew 5:28 the Bible says, " But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
There are some basic rules that can not be broken or even bent in terms of keeping adultery out of your marriage.
1. Protect the priority of your marriage. Besides God, absolutely nothing should come before your marriage. Always without fail let your spouse know that they are your top priority.
2. Give your passion to your spouse. Do not have any communication about personal and private information with someone of the opposite gender in regards to your marriage.
3. Connect on every level with your spouse, everything that you go through should be together as a couple. Do not allow secrecy into your marriage.
4. Take responsibility and accountability for your part in the situation. Confess your sins before Jesus, and repent. Once there is repentence, the God can restore.
Even if your spouse has turned completely away from you in every way, it does not justify adultery. Seek God first at all times and he can restore your marriage. Do not make the mistake of saying that it can never happen in your marriage. Admit that there has been temptation, but that you must not given in. James 1:15 says, "Then when desire has conceived it gives birth to sin, and sin when it is full grown, brings forth death."
