Why Are You Still Faithful To Your Spouse ? by Nobody: 6:56pm On Nov 18, 2012
I have seen many married couples that stayed together till death seperated them, with no records of cheating from any of the two parties, and I have also seen cases of which a party cheated on their spouse.

Now the question is; why are the faithful one still faithful to their spouse ?

1. Is it because they are no longer s.exually attracted to other people except their spouse ?

2. or Is it because they are attracted but are strong enough to remain faithful ?

Please share your thought.

I believe anyone can be attracted to other people, and think they are beautiful, and "if I was singel.."
The difference is how you take it from there.

Methinks "Personality" and "Cultural Upbringing" has a role to play here.

You'll find more often than not, it's the women who stay "faithful" to cheating spouses...

Or maybe, they "appear" to be faithful, but are getting their kicks just as well, except that they do it discreetly / secretly.

Or just growing up and seeing things happen to your mother/father, that you do not wish for yourself, I guess.

I have learned from my mother what kind of man and marriage I do NOT wish to have myself, and what I need in a marriage for me to be happy.
Luckily, I found a man who see things somewhat the same as I do.

But I do agree; women tend to stay more after cheating, than the men seems to do.

I don't think its a personal thing or its attached to any cultural or social upbringing. there are no evidence that relates cultural upbringing with sexual feelings. even in a country like Saudi Arabia or Pakistan where islamic religion is practice, people still cheat on their spouse.

if its personality, the question still stands. doess he/she no longer find others attractive? or they chose to still remain faithful considering their *personality and/or marriage rules?

I do believe you will always find others attractive, it is an instinct. But for me, I look at a handsome man and think "Mmmhm, he is one hot dude..but, the one I got at home is the full package." And then I look away.

Many people give in to that first thought, and take it further, instead of turning their back.

JallowBah,

You have a point. I once heard someone say that one can't avoid the first look but one can avoid the second look.

They actually write that in the Quran, for men regarding women who do not cover.
But I have also read it other places, and I do believe that is a "good rule" to go by.

Love is not an emotion. It is a decision. It takes a strong person to stay faithful to vows freely made. Weak, undisciplined people cheat...

For me, I don't find any other woman sexually worthy anymore. An ex once tried to chat me up two weeks after my wedding and I turned get flat down, even though she was very good when it was going...perhaps the best, but a strong canceling anchor hooked me when I said "...I do".
Paper attraction and first looks will always be there...but a sixth sense should hold everyone back, because when you look back after the act, you'll truly feel worthless inside, even if you don't show it.
Couples who cheat on themselves simply take their marriage for granted.

1. To my best knowledge, he is faithful to me, so, one good turn deserve another, and even, if he is d type dt does, two wrongs can never make a right.
2. Fornication/adultery/marital cheating is bad, d lord frowns at it i cant do it, i fear God's wrath.
3. I cant imagine myself unclading myself b4 another man, hhhmmm, its nauseating!
4. No other man is worthy to see my unclothedness again. I am committed to my marriage.

Now you're asking bi? Let my spouse catch you... Why I no go faithful? Answer me na... No be marriage? Na SPOUSE you sef talk... I love my wife ooo...

In all seriousness there is no reason why I am faithful to my wife other than cos she is my wife...what more reason could there be? Marriage is not a bathroom where you enter and come out after some minutes, it more like a house where you tend to live till whenever...so I guess I have donated my one coin.

They are allowed to take more than one wife, IF they can care for every wife in the same matter, with both money and love. This goes from the fact that a muslim man is supposed to support his wife, or wives, financially.
That they can take concubines..? Never heard of. Or are you thinking about the temporary marriages that they can do?
