I’ve seen posts about how some people start treating their spouse poorly after they get married, and it makes me wonder: Why do people end up resenting the very person they once vowed to love? I have also come across videos of people caught in adultery, sometimes just before they’re about to get married. Why would someone take marriage vows when they clearly love someone else and not the person they’re supposed to marry? You wouldn’t knowingly hurt the one you truly love.
It seems that some people don’t understand the gravity of having sex with someone other than their partner. Unfortunately, this isn’t uncommon today. It isn’t just choices that people make, it is spiritual. Something is wrong in their soul and spiritually. Demons and familiar spirits can take advantage of these people through temptations. Causing them to lust after the flesh of other people besides their spouse.
There are those trying to explain this, like on social media, where I saw a woman arguing with others about the importance of sexual faithfulness. She told women not to engage sexually with just anyone, especially if they already have a husband or boyfriend. Shockingly, some women argued back, saying they had the right to do so, not realizing the damage this can cause. The reason is that they have beliefs that are not right with God. These beliefs can lead to intruding spirits, like demons and familiar spirits. The purpose of these unclean spirits is to destroy the marriage and the hearts of those involved. Children, husband, wife, even for generations to come. The battle is for your soul.
The Bible teaches us that our bodies are not our own—they belong to the one we are married to. We are called to reserve our bodies for our spouse alone. Scripture is clear that adultery and sex outside of marriage are wrong.
Marriage is a covenant, something sacred and holy. It’s disheartening that society and laws don’t always reflect this truth, but that’s often because people struggle to control their lustful desires. We must strive to have self-control and live God-honoring lives, because this leads to a much richer and fulfilling existence. If you want a truly great life, abstain from sexual immorality.
Choosing the path of purity isn’t just about avoiding immediate harm. It affects your future and your family. Think about it: Would you want your grandchildren to read about these things in your book of life? You want to have a great story of love and adventure to share with them when you see them in heaven.
As 1 Corinthians 13:13 says, “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
Lord, I pray that you will protect our marriages, that you will keep the marriage bed undefiled. I pray that you will sanctify our marriages and keep them holy. Protect us from the evil ones and lead us not into temptation. Keep us from sin so that we will not be grieved. In Jesus’ name I pray this. Amen.
