In class today, we talked about the many ways one can commit infidelity on their spouse. The first way that comes to everyone's mind is the most obvious one, which is sexual infidelity. There are quite a few ways however, and many people would not find some of them as threats and steps to cheating on their spouse, but it can hurt them in some way.
One way is just by being dishonest with your spouse. Lying or hiding something from them is not a good idea ans should always be avoided. A marriage needs to be built on truth and communication with one another. One lie can build up to many lies which can crumble a once very strong relationship.
Pornography is also very harmful to a relationship and is a form of infidelity. It is not fair to your spouse. Even daydreaming and thinking romantically or sexually about another person is infidelity. People would think it's harmless when it's just a thought and not an action, but how hurt would your spouse be to know that you would rather think of someone else other than them to be like that with. Avoid it.
Avoid being alone with another person who isn't your spouse. It does and has happened where you can develop romantic feelings with that person. Also, don't confide in anyone other than your spouse.
Last, I would like to add that you should not put anyone or anything before your spouse. If your spouse is not your #1, then your marriage will loosen and the bond that keeps you two close together will get wider rather than tighter.
These have taught me a great deal of where to avoid situations where there is even potential of me becoming an infidel to my marriage. Remember the words "Avoid it." They have helped me so far in my marriage and I will continue to follow them. I hope they will help you just the same. Love your spouse, tell them the truth, even it it hurts either or both of you. Have an honest relationship. You two will go far!
