How to prevent an affair

The scriptures are awesome. They can teach pure and simple truths so effectively!

1 Corinthians 7: 1-7

 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: aIt isgood for a man not to touch a woman.
 Nevertheless, ato avoid bfornication, let every man have his owncwife, and let every woman have her own husband.
 Let the ahusband render unto the bwife due cbenevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
 aDefraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that bSatan ctempt you not for your incontinency.
 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his aproper bgift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
Paul addresses sexual misunderstandings. I think it is interesting that way back in Bible times the people were struggling with sexual sins; and still today, our society is struggling with the very same things.

Maybe because I'm not married I wouldn't understand what is so tempting about having an affair, but in class we learned that it is easier than you think to have an affair, so be careful! No one gets married planning on having an affair or failed marriage. Protect yourself and remember: "don't talk about marriage problems with anyone but your spouse."
