And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
-Ephesians 5:21, NLT
Marriage is NOT about what you can extract from the other partner. A Christian marriage is not a contract for “goods.”
I suspect many Cheater approaches marriage like a calculation. Some decide that they are no longer getting enough of a “good” deal. That is all marriage is to them.
What’s in it for me?!
Cheaters are essentially selfish. They think their desires are to be the number one consideration.
They want more sex!
They want more money!
They want more emotional intimacy!
None of these are bad things in and of themselves. However, they make poor idols. Wrecking your marriage over such an idol will result in spiritual ruin (not to mention other ruin).
