There are so many statistics on divorce, and it can be very frightening. It can even be difficult for young couples to have the courage to marry because of the battle scenes of others failed marriages they see before them. What is causing so many divorces? There are many factors, but one factor that we see plastered all over the TV screen probably won't surprise you. Infidelity. Many marriages fall apart because of infidelity.
In a power point presentation entitiled Friends, Facebook, and Fidelity four different categories are discussed that you may have never considered as a threat to your relationship with your spouse.
1) Friends-Of course everyone needs social interaction, but individuals also need to be careful about how much time is devoted to their friends. There needs to be adjustments of how individuals in the marriage interact with friends of the opposite gender. When it comes to marriage, your spouse needs to be your one and only. Friends are important, but specific boundaries need to be set to protect your marriage from friends of both genders.
2) Facebook- Be mindful of the time you spend on Facebook. It may seem harmless, but it can be harmful if not used with caution.
3)Family- How can we be unfaithful by being with our other family members? The truth is that if one spouse shares information that may be negative about their husband or wife to their family, it will take a very long time for the family members to forget. You and your spouse will work out the problem and all will be well with the two of you, but the last thing your family heard about him was negative. Don't share information with anyone that you wouldn't share with your spouse.
