Lie #4: “My private immorality doesn’t affect my marriage.”
Immorality affects oneness in marriage. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6:15 that our bodies are sacred, so those who sin with their bodies are marking them, turning them into the bodies of prostitutes.
Nowadays, there are many ways to commit immorality with your body: physically, on a computer’s video screen, through the pages of a magazine, etc. Paul’s piece of advice is the same in the 21st century as it was thousands of years ago: to flee immorality.
If you take your body and emotional energy and spend it outside of your marriage, there will be very little to nothing left for your spouse. Those who engage in erotic fantasies again and again are isolating themselves.

I’ve been married 57 years to the love of my life. We met on a blind dinner date. Why does my marriage work? I make the major decisions with her approval. One person is dominant in a marriage. It could be either. Some people are good at decision making while others are not. She was and still is “my dream girl.” We are now in our 80’s and I’d remarry her again in an instant. She was so cute my parents thought she was marrying me for my money, not that I had so much. I’m a strong personality and she is laid back. Knowing yourself is the best way to find a mate. Don’t overlook the others faults or your own. Everyone has them and if they are glaring don’t fool yourself into believing that it will work out. People don’t change. Always remember the reasons you married and appreciate one another. She was and still is my dream girl!
