Adultery has devastating effects on EVERYONE!!! If men would rise up and LOVE THEIR WIVES like we are commanded in Ephesians 5:25 then we would end divorce on this planet!!!

But alas, this world is filled with selfish and cowardly men! Until mean PRACTICE Ephesians 5:25 then divorce will be an epidemic. If you don't know how or what it means...check out 1 John 3:16, John 3:16.

But you are too selfish to put your wife above your own needs.

Proverbs 5:15 simply warns the man to be content with his own wife since they are both one flesh. Because adultery may result in spiritual and physical separation.
