The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife.
-I Corinthians 7:4, NLT
Cheaters are known to scoff at faithful spouses’ reasonable “demands.”
They love to play the card that we have no say in their associations or activities. Yet they think they can tell us all sorts of things we “must” do! Ha.
The reality about Christian marriage is that we DO get a say about what our spouse is doing with his or her body!
That is part of what it means to be married in the Christian sense. We have given ourselves to each other in a mutually submissive relationship (see Ephesians 5:21).
Cheaters forget this. Or they choose to ignore this demand upon their lives (like they do their wedding vows).
When a cheater refuses to give up his or her lover upon a faithful spouse’s request, they are defying Christian norms for marriage.
It is the cheater who does not get the say on this one. He or she is the one flouting godly authority by refusing to end the affair.
