Honoring Marital Vows with Complete Fidelity

Strict fidelity in marriage is essential in honoring the covenants we have made with our spouse and the Lord.

 We all have a friend or someone we know who is married, but who flirts whit someone else. In the past, it was more common to hear that certain man, had an affair with a woman. I don´t say it was right in that time, and it´s not right in these days either. But it´s so much more common that  men and women don´t respect themselves nor their spouses and like to flirt  and go further in a relationship with someone else.

The rythm life has in these days makes people have no time for family. Spouses spend the majority of their time working at an office or a place outside their home. People who got married thinking and feeling in love with their spouse, find out after a short time that they don´t recognize the other, or worse, that they weren´t what they wanted. This takes to search in someone else what they don´t seem to have.

I firmly believe that love is a DECISION. If a couple is in a situation where the other is not focusing in satisfying the other one needs. It´s time to make a pause and work that out. Everything can be fixed through communication and love. If we strive on doing what the Lord has commanded us, we can certainly live in "strict fidelity" and "honoring the covenants we made wit our spouse and the Lord"

"Thou shalt love thy wife with all thy heart,

and shalt cleave unto her and none else."

D&C 42:22
