Wife1: A man is a cheat by nature, he can’t help himself
Wife 2: I beg to differ; no man was born a cheat. It is a matter of gross indiscipline and misplaced priorities.
Moderator: So, all men cheat? That is husbands and wives…
Wife 3: The thing is this; if he’s handling his responsibilities at home, taking care of you and the kids, paying the bills, what more can you ask for? It doesn’t mean he loves you less; a man will just be a man, period!
Wife 2: That is a very wrong mentality, it boils down to character. A thief is a thief irrespective of the gender, likewise a cheat. You can’t say you love your spouse and bear to cheat on them. How do you live with yourself after that? It interprets a deficit in morals and ethics. Such a man or woman would tell lies, cheat, steal, offer/take bribes, or worse kill.
Moderator: So, not all men are cheats then…Would it be safe then to say societal approval of a man being supposedly polygamous in nature has promoted the heart-wrenching trend of unfaithfulness in marriage?
Wife 1: Not entirely, men and women cheat alike.
Wife 2: The society is less or non-judgemental when a man cheats as opposed a woman. This is double standards, two wrongs do not make a right but, if our brothers, sons who would become husbands and fathers are properly cultured and groomed to be morally upright, to give their word and hold it dear as their bond, to love their wives and be faithful just like our sisters and daughters learn earlier on to do domestic chores, cook and be responsible for their future homes, then the smallest unit of society, the family, would bloom blissfully.
Wife 3: I agree with you, there would be less broken homes/marriages, single parenting, or immorality, as both parents would be present to nurture their kids’ right
Moderator: Cheating isn’t the only issue facing marriages, but a lack of character, ethics or morals in society. Young single persons openly and unabashedly declaring dirty sexual advances to married men, and a lot more, it is worrisome.
We are in an age and time where devourers are everywhere. Prayer is key. Pray for/with your spouse always, depart from evil ways, pray for your kids to not derail and join those destroying society, rather to be light and salt of the earth to give savor and joy to all.
Also, love is key. No reason is genuine enough to cheat; dialogue is the best form of resolve.
Have an eloquent sufficiency in each others company, build trust and contentment. You’ll always see someone fairer to look upon, more outstanding in appearance, more resourceful etc. But be content. Respect your vows.
Till next time, maybe we’ll welcome a “husband’s summit”…lol…stay checked!
