The Adulterous Bride

Spouses may stray when they feel unloved or unwanted, it is true. But, infidelity is most often the result of substituting the “thrill of the chase” or a fulfillment of a lustful desire than out of true abandonment by their partner. Many a wife divorced in middle-age finds her former spouse out chasing women half his age – not because she has done anything wrong, but because he is looking for excitement and the fulfillment of his own fleshly desires. (Men aren’t alone in this – women do it too!) They’ve lost touch with their spouse and think that by substituting something else, that will provide what they need and desire.

It’s bad enough when a person does this – but, it’s even worse when it’s an entire church.
