Make your marriage adultery-proof

I was checking on my back issues of Kerygma Magazine when the cover of the May 2007 issue caught my attention: Make Your Marriage Adultery Proof by Vic & Ditas Español.

I decided to bring it and during the ride to the office, my DH and I discussed it.

The authors said that there are 4 Infidelity Busters:

(1) Decide to make your marriage as your top priority each day
(2) Know your spouse’s needs
(3) Nurture intimacy
(4) Put God in your relationship

Sometimes it’s difficult to nurture a relationship when you are faced with everyday stress that is part of raising a family. It’s not easy to meet the demands of each of your child and still satisfy the needs of your spouse. But who said life will be easy? It all depends on how you communicate your needs to each other, as well as the respect, trust, and love that you have for each other. And the authors were right when they said that the best antidote to infidelity is a God-centered marriage. We have been involved in a spiritual community for the past 7 years and this has really helped our relationship. Petty quarrels and disagreements are short-lived because we know that this is not what God wants for our family. It’s also very important that you surround your family with people who are God-fearing and who have the same values that you want your children to have.
