It is safe to say that hundreds of millions of people around the world know of someone who has either committed adultery or has experienced the trauma caused by a spouse’s marital unfaithfulness. Sadly, adultery has become part of
the fabric of life in countries and cultures across the globe.
In spite of its prevalence, however, the complete sinfulness of adultery remains largely overlooked and even camouflaged by supposedly less offensive terms such as “having an affair” or “stepping out” or “sleeping around.” As a result, adultery is often glamorized, legitimized, and/or fantasized by those who, sadly, are spiritually deluded, selfcentered, unloving, and relationally short-sighted. These characteristics make one vulnerable to Satan’s diabolical and spiritually numbing plan to cripple people, families, and relationships through adultery.
