Alot of 'good people' are quick to argue that they will never cheat on their spouse because their idea of unfaithfulness is going to a bar/club to meet someone to cheat with, but they don't realise they might be at a higher risk of being unfaithful to their spouse #THREAD
Cheating is a big deal in any relationship and being faithful to one's spouse goes beyond being a 'good person' but is more about the structures put in place to deal with isolation, emotional unfaithfulness, intimacy and conflict resolution 2/6
If you find yourself always chatting, calling or having 'harmless' but vulnerable conversations with a friend of the opposite sex, or discussing delicate matters such as your plans, marital struggles or your partner's flaws, you might just be one step away from cheating 3/6
I personally think that there is no need asking questions like 'what did you eat today?', 'what are you doing right now?', 'what are you wearing right now?', 'I just want to talk to someone so I chatted you up', with someone who is not your spouse. That's a setup for cheating 4/6
Consciously make efforts to be closer to your spouse instead. Strengthen communication with each other, resolve conflicts quickly&healthily, grow in intimacy & accountability to each other in everything, such that there is no room for external interference in the relationship 5/6
Above all, as believers, once you have set these in place, trust the Spirit of God within you to strengthen you in those low moments of weakness and temptations. You'll see that strength has been made available to you to rise above temptations consistently. 6/6
