Temptation comes in many forms but one of the most potent forms is that of lust. Sex is a beautiful thing, that GOD created for the confinement of marriage. It is true most people have experienced it outside of this confinement including myself. With that being said, lets start the discussion.
I went to the movies this weekend to see Tyler Perry's movie Temptation: Confessions of a marriage counselor. It was a decent movie, conveying significant messages throughout. Now I can't speak from the perspective of being married, because I have yet to take that journey down holy matrimony. I can on the other hand speak to what I've seen over the course of my adult life. The basis of the movie centered around a married couple, where the wife feels taken for granted by her husband, and becomes intrigued by a successful client at her job that eventually becomes an affair. Regardless if it is the man or woman in a marriage or a committed relationship that cheats for whatever reason it is wrong. Not to excuse any behavior like that or play devil's advocate but the mate of the other person must be attentive to the signs of discontentment in the relationship. Men we should not take the woman in our life for granted and get so comfortable with the same routine and not appreciate her beauty, loyalty, and encouragement.
Women should not take the man in your life for granted and get so comfortable with the same routine and not appreciate his protection, love, and support. When both parties do this, you open up the door for that other man or woman to come in and present and provide everything that appears to be missing or desired in the current relationship. A lot of us have either seen this scenario happen to others we know or have experienced it ourselves at some point in life.
The bible says in Ephesians 4:19 "Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continue lust for more."
Poetic Thought:
It appears the affection has gone missing,
Arguments exude from the lips instead of tender kissing,
No excitement or spontaneous spark in life,
Once an array of colors, becoming 50 shades of gray with spite,
Love is work, emotional, physical, and mental relation,
If you slack on the job, it can be taken by temptation! ~ JD
Some may say monogamy is a tough pill to swallow, but on the contrary it is a multi-vitamin that helps support your relationship immune system. If not taken daily along with the discipline to exercise your commitment to one another, it will cause your emotions and libido to become unstable and lead to lust and betrayal! Until next time, class dismiss!!!
