"Let love and faithfulness will not forsake you" (Proverbs 3.3).

 

Although marital fidelity is recommended, required, established as a necessity, we see that unfortunately, in many biblical stories, this loyalty was not respected. The practice of polygamy by many patriarchs only emphasizes, with more force, all the limitations of human nature.
The Ten Commandments are good and were given to our happiness. But it is clear that our human nature has a sad inclination not to observe them. The two commandments regarding loyalty : (thou shalt not covet the wife - or husband - your neighbor, and you shall not commit adultery) are not more respected than others.
Whether we are religious or not we know that loyalty is a good thing. Gérard Mermet remark : "93% of the French consider it essential or useful to be faithful to fully succeed a relationship" (Francoscopie 99, p.139). Thus a very large majority recognizes the merits of loyalty, although many do not live.

To observe this commandment, like the others, we need to be helped, guided, protected and rescued. In terms of fidelity, I would say that we doubly need help, guided ... because we are two to live together. The success of a faithful couple is not based on the merits or qualities of one but the moral and spiritual qualities of both. Marital fidelity rests on the shoulders of both spouses, everyone has a part to play to maintain harmony. Consider only the other bears responsibility for fidelity, it is increasing the risk of infidelity.

Fidelity is not a state achieved once and for all, loyalty is like love, it works, talks, enriches the happiness of the other. Faithfulness endures when protects certain dangers of certain risk behaviors, certain familiarities. "We do not play with fire" as the saying goes. Seducers and seducers are always ready (s) to cause a rash that feels like invulnerable, as described in Chapter 5 of the book of Proverbs.
