Married, With Infidelities
Follow the fad! There is much richness in marriage than just sex. Being faithful to one another is one of them. Growing old together another. Enjoying the accomplishments in career and raising decent children and grandchildren, etc. Suggestions for sexual success have been touted by a lot of social hypocrites. First the book "Open Marriage" came out telling us to share our spouse with others for a better marriage. Ten years later the same husband and wife authors espoused "The New Fidelity" of staying true to one's spouse. I wonder how many marriages were ruined by following the advice in their first book? What is it? If their is no love nor fear of God nor commitment then people run after the latest insanity of how to conduct oneself morally—sexual or otherwise.Simply - I LOVE YOU.That is tested. Anything less has or will yield to love.Talk helps. -
