How
to Help Your Spouse Stop Cheating Below are
several sure-fire ways to help your spouse to stop cheating. These
principles can be used for the cheating spouse as well as for the loved
one of an unfaithful spouse. People cheat because they lack the
spiritual Christ in their life. Unfaithfulness has to do with still
living for self instead of for our Creator. Put
these principles to work in your personal and married life. God gives us
life and shows us how to lead a pleasing life for Him. Respect Your Spouse
Did you know that couples disrespect one another on
a daily basis and don’t even know it? Being disrespected in our
marriage gives those who are weak in their faith justification for being
unfaithful whether physically or emotionally. People want to feel good
about who they are and if they are not getting that recognition from the
one they married they will ultimately look for it elsewhere. The truth
is we ought to be getting our emotional needs met through the power of
Christ living in us, the Holy Spirit. Respect Yourself
When we wear revealing clothing, or when we flirt
with, look at, or think lustful thoughts about the opposite sex we are
disrespecting the person God created us to be. God created us in His
image; therefore we should glorify God with our body, mind and spiritual
self. God lives in us but when we do these things we are dishonoring
Christ. We may mean no harm when we show off our body or flirt with the
opposite sex but it says that “we are available” to others. Be a Good Example
Do you suspect your spouse of cheating? Did you
know that you are probably just as suspicious to them? The truth is
those people who are suspicious of their spouse actually do not trust
themselves. If we cannot trust ourselves around the opposite sex, how on
earth are we supposed to trust our spouse? Make sense? What can you change in the way you behave and carry
yourself to let your spouse see a positive change in you? It does not
matter if you are the one cheating or not, what matters is that you are
pleasing God with your lifestyle. Make it your purpose in life, from a
spiritual standpoint, to please God with the way you live and be a good
example to others, especially to the man or woman you married. Be Accountable to God
Why do some people think they have no
accountability, and that they can do whatever they please? All people,
even unbelievers will be accountable to God one day, so why not be
accountable now? Be accountable to God with your behavior first
and then you will undoubtedly be accountable to yourself and to your
spouse. If we live our life to please God than we fulfill the law of
accountability with the man or woman we married. Do you see how that
works? Ask God For Help Pride keeps us from seeking God because we honestly
think we don’t need Him. But the truth is, we all NEED God because He
makes us who we can become. Jesus gives us life! Without Christ we are
nothing. If you ask Christ to help you with temptation He will help you
but you have to let down your pride and ask. Jesus is God and from Him
we receive our life! “I am the vine, and ye are the branches. He that
abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. For
without me can ye do nothing.” John 15:5 |
