The Curse of Marital Infidelity and Its Partners

I just thought of how today's society has gone into several wrong issues going on like "Money comes first." and "Men can treat women as badly as they can." Now here's the issue today, we have the issue of marital infidelity which has destroyed today's society. So here we have women who become mistresses for the sake of money. I could hardly understand why men themselves while their wives are proper with them would rather choose to go out with bad girls. I've heard of various stories from various people who told me of how the female paramours are most of the time- they hardly care about their boyfriends and all they want is the money. Again, 1 Timothy 6:10 says that the love of money is the ROOT of all evil. So why do these women waste their dignity and get themselves pregnant? Simple. The civil laws require that men are to treat their children well, legitimate or illegitimate. Of course while an illegitimate child has only 0.5x of the x of the legitimate child, however one must consider that he/she is not at fault at all that is why the law provides that 50% of legitime that the legitimate has. However such a sinful practice has promoted sexual immorality to various courses of action.

One may want to think how miserable Solomon was with his 1,000 women. I would think at first, "That's pretty nice." But no, Solomon was at his most miserable. Just think about how it was- Solomon in Ecclesiastes wrote how miserable he truly was. In the Book of Songs, Solomon found his true love in only one girl, the Shulamite woman and every other woman just bored him. In fact in Proverbs 5, it talks about how destructive adulterous affairs are. At first, they seem to be pleasant, it is sweet as honey yet in the end it becomes as bitter as wormwood. Every affair starts good then ends badly and it can be evidenced by premature aging. Is it any wonder why Proverbs 5:11 says, "And thou shalt mourn at last when thy flesh and thy body are consumed." 

Sexually transmitted diseases devour the flesh. Or if not, it could develop into a bad relationship that will sooner or later result to destructive cancer. Cancer is a flesh eating disease. If it would not be a STD, it could also lead to any form of cancer most likely to that of the reproductive system. It will be a slow and painful death that the doctors can guarantee. Most of them have no cure, no hope. Was the last affair worth it? No.I would also like to think of how painful marital infidelity can be. On the part of the husband, it means the sanctity of marriage is broken. On the part of the wife, it means that the children of the household will have to share an equal inheritance with an illegitimate child they do not share the same father with. One has to consider that their reasons for leaving the spouse can't justify their sins. The husband having an argument with the wife is no reason for either which to get a paramour. Some are sad to say think they can get their "happiness" if they get an extramarital partner. They get it all right- but only for a short time then everything goes upside down.

Fortunately I have good news for such sufferers. Right now, the issue is sin. Sin brings death and disaster, the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ can bring eternal life as the cure. However what is needed is true repentance, not just regret. That is one must see themselves as having deserved their condition because of their sin, humbling themselves before the Lord Jesus Christ. Unless a person is sorry for their sins, they will never come to Christ. The invitation is still open and unless you repent, you will perish. That is, recognize your need for salvation, know you can't save yourself and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for who He is, His death, burial and resurrection and you will be saved.
