Marriage is under tremendous assault as never before. Will marriage survive? Can it survive? Infi delity is exploding, but why? In most cultures, infi delity has become a major part of entertainment. We all see it in popular television programs and movies. Infi delity to some is enjoyment and pleasure. Some men think if they are not slipping and cheating they are not being real men. Some individuals grew up in environments where cheating is a way of life. Some women think life is boring without the excitement of an outside affair. In spite of the reasons, God to His creation says No to infi delity. Become the good husband or wife you would like your spouse to be. Life has taught me that men and women get involved in an extramarital affair for many different reasons. Sometimes when you are unsatisfi ed with your relationship you start to think What is available out there? In a way it is an escape, people feel like they want to be out from the burden in their marriages. Grass is greener on the other side and so it seems. I have seen many starting to fl irter with others, innocently at fi rst. They start to THINK of what ifs situations such as what if Im married to this friend of mine? Many people forget that slowly they bring themselves into an extramarital affair and become trapped to another crisis. Let me remind you that trust is like a balloon. One pricks it, is gone! The fear of broken promises, cheating or betrayal can reduce the quality of your marriage. Marriage is a challenging an enterprise that requires hard work, determination and discipline. Creating a strong and satisfying marriage is possible, and it is defi nitely worth the effort! Recovery after infi delity is not an easy path, but if others could pull through, so can you!
