When Does Adultery Happen?
« on: August 30, 2006, 04:18 PM »

Someone sent this to me and i think its really good and something to think about for all married (and unmarried) folk.

When Does Adultery Happen?

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.

"Wow, this girl in my office is a real looker. But it's not her Wynona Rider features that got me. I'm
crazy about her because she's also understanding, intelligent, tender - so many things that my spouse is not."

Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman or a man who will be more charming or sensitive. More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer. Have greater sex appeal. And you will find a woman or man who will need you and pursue you and go loco over you more than your spouse ever did. Because no wife or husband is perfect. Because a spouse will only have 90% of what you're looking for. So adultery takes place when a husband or wife looks for the missing 10%.

Let's say your wife is melancholic by nature. You may find yourself drawn to the pretty clerk who has a cherry laugh no matter what she says: "I broke my arm yesterday, Hahahaha ,  . , "

Or because your wife is a homebody in slippers and pyjamas, smelling of garlic and fish oil, you may fall
for a fresh-smelling young sales representative that visits your office in a sharp black blazer, high
heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt. Or because your husband is the quiet type, your heart may skip a beat
when you meet an old college flame who has the makings of a talk show host.

But wait! That's only 10% of what you don't have.

Don't throw away the 90% that you already have!

That's not all. Add to your spouse's 90% the 1000% that represents all the years that you have been with each other. The storms you have weathered together. The unforgettable moments of sadness and joy as a couple. The many adjustments you have made to love the other. The wealth of memories that you've accumulated as lovers.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.

But faithfulness happens when you're thankful for what you already have.

But I'm not just talking about marriage.

I'm talking about life!

About your jobs.

About your friends.

About your children.

About your lifestyles.

Are you like the economy airline passenger that perennially peeks through the door of the first class
cabin, obsessed with what he's missing? "They have got more leg room! Oh my, their food is served in
porcelain! Wow, their seats recline at an 80% angle and they've got personal videos!"

I guarantee you'll be miserable for the entire trip! Don't live your life like that. Forget about what the
world says is first class.

Do you know that there are many first class passengers who are miserable in first class -- because they are not riding in a private Lear Jet?

The Message:
If you start appreciating what you have right now in your life, wherever you are IS FIRST CLASS!!!
