Unfaithfulness In Marriage

Unfaithfulness is the ability of husband and wife not being trusted or loyal to one another. When married people begin to live unfaithfully to each other, definitely their marriage is bound to collapse. Our lesson today will show you how to avoid unfaithfulness in your marriage.
I. Circumstances that lead To Unfaithfulness In Marriage. Before a partner will become unfaithful there are circumstances that lead to it. Let’s see some of them:
(A) Sickness (B) Childlessness
(C) Sudden Prosperity (D) Joblessness
(E) Death of husband/Wife (F) Long separation due to business trip or job
(G) Old age (H) fading away of beauty/unattractiveness (I) Impotence
(J) Lack of Communication
(K) Unhealthy work circumstances. e.g.  (i) Working for long hours together with an opposite sex in the same office. (ii) Trekking home together after work. (iii) Staying together in the same hotel for important work assignments.
II. How to overcome Unfaithfulness in Marriage
1. Have The Fear of God and be obedient to His words (Gen.39:7-12)
2. Live a prayerful life.  And pray together with your spouse. (Matt.26:41)
3. Discuss areas of temptations together (James 5:16) (If any one approached you for friendship as a wife discuss it with your husband. Likewise as a husband, if a woman is showing interest in you, let your wife know.
4. Let your partner know about favours received from opposite sex. In fact let your partner call and appreciate him/her
5. Avoid close relationship with opposite sex (calling frequently to discuss irrelevant issues, chatting or sending text messages.)
  1. Allow your partner access to your phone (i.e. let her/him pick your call)
  2. Don’t deny each other sex. For that can lead to marital unfaithfulness.(1Cor.7:2-5)
  3. Talk positively about your partner in the presence of someone you suspect is interested in you.
  4. Wear your wedding rings always.
 God will not be happy with you if your marriage fails. Please ensure that you and your partner make your marriage succeed. Great rewards are waiting for both of you in heaven for being faithful to each other.
