When I get married, I will be a faithful man. I wont cheat on my wife. And yes, I CAN make that claim/boast. Not because Im looking down on men who did as foolish or weak. No, I wont look down on them or mock them but I wont then say you never know what might happen. Neither position/ nor declaration makes sense. The reasons will be many but heres some of them. 1. I love God: It will break His heart to see me mess up my marriage and de-value and dishonour my wife. The very wife He gave me. Thats me saying, she wasnt good enough to satisfy me or I changed my mind and decided I wanted something different/more. Either way it is an offensive thing and hurtful to God. Some dont even seem to realise that to cheat on a spouse/partner (when the person youre cheating with knows they are married) automatically means in their heart they mock them and treat them with disdain because they believe and can boast that they got what so and so had for free, so easily and are enjoying it at their leisure. Ive even seen cases where the person who slept with someones husband, went and fought with the woman and disgraced her saying she couldnt satisfy her man and should leave the home. Yeah, people can be that funny. 2. Ill love my wife: I know well have challenges as every marriage will but I dont know of many things that can damage her faith, heart and life than knowing I cheated on her with another woman. It would kill her inside. She could forgive but why do that to her? 3. I love myself: God made me for ONE union. Not TWO, THREE or more. Once I become one physically with my wife, to take that aside and go and become one with another woman is like taking a gift given to me by my wife and, when she isnt looking, giving it to another woman to have. It dishonours and disagraces my wife but also myself because I gave out something precious. Can I even be respected after that? I am no longer even a man of my word (after all, I DID make vows about my marriage) nor do I show Christs sacrificial heart and love for the church in that he remains faithful despite all her flaws. 4. I must show the world what marriage stands for: I must tell my kids, the people around me and future generations (if Christ isnt back by then) that it is good, honourable, godly and possible to be satisfied with the love and body of one woman alone all their lives. Men these days need this message because there are too many wolves out there making a mess of the lives of ladies by sleeping around and thinking its a mans right to sample women like food in and out of marriage. Such that many men wouldnt even think twice to bed another mans wife as well! These are four reasons but as I said, others exist. Again, this is not to mock men who failed in this. They failed and thats that. No need to flog a dead horse. There is forgiveness and restoration for all who want it. But for those yet to take that special altar call we can decide NOW, that as long as we have done this deed called a marriage ceremony, we will not ruin it. We can decide to ask God to help us stand in the face of temptation from wherever it comes. We can do this, fellas. We can please God and esteem our wives and marriage as it was planned in the beginning. To borrow a rhetorical question from a friend here online; Whos with me? *P.S. Id love it if any lady on my friend-list here who loves to write could make one up for the women. I want to share these writeups somewhere...
