 OVERCOMING TEMPTATION 

Solomon tells us to remain faithful to our spouses. He says that the sexual relationship with our spouse, even after 30 or 40  years, is better than a relationship with someone outside of our marriage. Why? No guilt or shame, for one thing. God blesses the marriage bed and tells us to keep it pure. And while sex is only one part of marriage, it is a very important part. Sharing that intimacy with someone else can only destroy your marriage.

Monica's thoughts:  Keep your thoughts clean and pure—protect your own heart.  Stay within the prescribed boundaries. God’s limits always have a good reason that is usually for our own benefit.  Enjoy your marriage relationship! Enjoy your life together and be thankful for your spouse! Why be attracted to someone else?  God already provided for your needs.

The more we are faithful, the less we will be tempted.  Run towards God, run towards your spouse. Flee everything that draws you away from either of them.
