Fidelity and Physical Intimacy

This image belongs to church of jesus christ

When Jesus Christ was speaking to his disciples he said: Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit aadultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever alooketh on a bwoman to clust after her hath committed dadultery with her already in his heart. (Matthew 5:27-28)

What does this imply in our marriage? Fidelity goes beyond a physical or sexual contact with another person, it is also in the thoughts, in the emotion, all this begins with small activities with other people that we consider innocent, we try to justify them without considering our partner, without considering the agreements what we do when we get married. These activities can be motivated by marriage problems, for example if your partner does not offer time to listen, lack of outside activities, little interest in the things or dreams of a couple, and can find another person who superficially can satisfy these needs, so we should not focus on the negative things of our partner, but their strengths, spend time to get to know each other continuously, be honestly concerned, active listening, activities that are both alone and quality communication.

One of the important things in marriage is sexuality, a unit that can nurture the relationship and satisfaction, but this point is usually the least touched either in the family or education and that helps generate false precepts or definitions , and young people are exposed to pornographic materials on the internet, something that can generate completely wrong ideas about sexuality and its role in marriage, as President Kimball has observed: "The Bible celebrates sex and its proper use, presenting it as God -created, God-ordained, God-blessed. It makes plain that God himself implanted the physical magnetism between the sexes for two reasons: for the propagation of the human race, and for the expression of that kind of love between man and wife that makes for true oneness. His commandment to the first man and woman to be 'one flesh' was as important as his command to 'be fruitful and multiply.' "(Quoting Billy Graham, Ensign, May 1974, p.7) see it from the individual point, only pleasure or as a negotiation mechanism are erroneous thoughts about sexuality in marriage; the procreation of children is an integral and beautiful aspect of conjugal intimacy, to use it only for that purpose is to deny its great potential as an expression of love, commitment and unity, according to Brent A.
