17 WAYS TO STAY FAITHFUL TO YOUR SPOUSE
Bisi Adewale
Infidelity in marriage is the reason many marriages are crashing today; it is destroying the fabric of matrimony and families.
Infidelity means to be sexually unfaithful to one’s spouse. It means to have sex with someone else apart from one’s marriage partner.
Below are measured to stay faithful to your spouse
- Decide and be committed to the fact that you will never have extra-marital affairs.
- Do not keep or allow secret sexual feelings and fantasies to go unaddressed
- Focus all sexual fantasies intentionally on your spouse.
- Set limits. Don’t share intimate details of your relationship with friends of the opposite sex.
- Do not permit an intimate friendship with the opposite sex to grow beyond boundaries
- Do not keep friends of the opposite sex, be they colleagues, classmates, committee members, church members, etc.
- Be patient with your mate on what constitutes appropriate behaviour.
- Pay attention to your feelings. Stop anything that may give the wrong impression
- Build an accountability network of godly friends who know you well enough to identify a change in your behaviour and attitude and who can pull you back from edges.
- Never think you are not vulnerable. Maintain close friendship with those of the same sex as well as godly and faithful couples.
- Discipline your sexual thought. Never allow it to steal your salvation.
- Make sure your partner enjoys you.
- Be content with your spouse and enjoy sex with him or her only.
- Be quick to settle disputes. Do not allow the devil to use it as a stronghold.
- Be prayerful, committing your life and marriage into God’s hands
- Accepting your partner the way he or she is. Never think any other person can be better.
- Avoid unnecessary physical contact with those of the opposite sex.
