Recently, my husband and I have been binge watching "Army Wives". The show is fantastic, but there is something that really kind of bothers me. The infidelity!!! It's insane. Here and there husbands and wives are having affairs, and people act like it's normal. Granted there are wives who don't, some of them will tell the person, "I really want to, but I just can't." What?!? To me, wanting to is just as bad as doing it. Matthew 5:28 says "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." So the BIBLE says even if you don't physically touch someone, when you think about doing it or even want to (as some of the spouses do in the show) then you've already done it. It's just as bad. Some of them blame it on deployments and stuff and though I have never experienced my husband deploying and being away for a while, I could never even think of doing that to us or to our marriage. Control people!
Taylor knows he has nothing to worry about and I also know the same. I made a commitment in front of God and family and I would never go back on that. Listen to this. 57% of men admit to infidelity in any relationship they've had while 54% percent of women admit the same. 22% of married men have strayed at least once in their marriage and the percentage is 14% for women. BUT! It also says that 74% of married men would commit infidelity if they knew they wouldn't get caught!! You want to know the percentage for women? 68%. Over half according to this study (http://www.statisticbrain.com/infidelity-statistics/) would do it if they wouldn't have to deal with the consequences. Can you believe that? That's horrible! I've always seen marriage as this sacred, beautiful thing and people throw it away every day. I refuse to do the same.
If you have never read Song of Songs in the Bible, I encourage you to. It's one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. Solomon and his bride are just in complete awe of each other. Solomon tells his bride, "I compare you, my love, to a mare among Pharaoh's chariot. Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels." Her words, "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth— for your love is more delightful than wine.Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out." Gorgeous words right? I want a marriage like this. I want us to take delight in each other every day. There is no other for me than Taylor and there never will be. I encourage you to take delight in your marriage/relationship today. :)
