There are many reasons why people cheat. For some it is the thrill of the chase, that excitement that they believe they cannot get from their partner. For some it is because they no longer feel love their significant other and they find someone else to fill that gap. For others it may be revenge on a cheating partner. And of course naughty ‘bad’ alcohol, or drugs, has had its hand in causing many a usually faithful partner to cheat along the way. This list is not exhaustive.
Without going into all any every possible scenario I personally believe that infidelity is wrong. It is my belief that as individuals we were designed and made to be monogamous, even if some people may have an urge to have sexual relations with another other than their partners, the choice is always one which is theirs’.
As for the suggestion in the lecture on ‘Infidelity’ that women (or men) could, or should, commit adultery in order to improve their status and vantage point within a relationship, I believe very strongly, is just plain ‘BAD.’ In no way should a relationship be about one person dominating or trying to get one over on the other. A relationship is about love, acceptance and laying oneself before another in order to grow together.
“at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female’, and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” (Holy Bible, 1984, p.986)

It is questionable whther we were made monogomus from an evolutional point of view all apes which are closest to us in genes are very premiscious. even biologically men have 3 different forms of serm one of which destroys other male sperm doesn't this indicate cheating is a natural inclination.
ReplyDeletei myself haven't cheated and believe like you that it is bad but only because of our social setting we think this. It is emphasised that monogomous relationship are good in our culture and bigamy is actually punishable by prison sentence there religions like mormons that encourage a male to have multiple partners it is questionable whether this is adultery ecause they know and even lie with eac other but isnt this still bad not being commited to one person.
