Do you think most married couples are completely faithful?

Question

what percentage do you think cheat... and what do you consider cheating?

Answer 1

I don't think ANY couples are 100% faithful. Jesus tells us that if we even so much as lust after another, we've committed adultery in our heart. Like Little Richard said, "The grass may be greener on the other side of the road, but the lawn still needs to be mowed..." Pretty pic, by the way... Oops...!

Answer 2

I think if you are truly in love you will not want to cheat. If you are in love with someone then you should only want to be with them. I feel that cheating is is a lot more then just sex. You have to be faithful all around. If you have a little crush on someone, then don't go around them. Because then you will be wishing you were with them and that is cheating.

Answer 3

I am faithful 100%...the ratio would 50:50 and cheating is when a married man or woman has an affair.

Answer 4

I think some cheating can be avoided. For example a lot of men cheat because the women stop paying attention to them. whether that means they stop sleeping with them, or all they do is grip and bitc* all the time. that don't make it right but if men and women tried harder to keep making each other happy cheating would'nt be an option

Answer 5

Most, no. But many yes.

Faithfulness is a commitment to yourself not the other, to believe in God and not rely on your own understanding.

Most if not all of us believe that we have the answers. That we know better and that we deserve better.

Unfaithfulness is an act of pride. Triggered by our egotistic mind we seek for more to satisfy our own emotional emptiness. When we do not know God we allow ourselves to be lured by the easiest and quickest way of satisfaction - SEX.

Cheating is committed the moment you stop thinking about the well-being of the marriage and start seeking for personal gratification. Whether is thru pornography, on line, at work, on the street, it is all a hormonal rush that feeds our ego and makes us feel powerful.

We all have the potential of being unfaithful due to our disconnection to our spirit and emphasis on the wordily definition of happiness.

Answer 6

i imagine that the first couple might want to get married. i'm a Christian. Christian isn't synonymous to gay hater. I actually have no longer something hostile to homosexuals. And it type of feels like distinct human beings imagine that because gay marriage is illegitimate in distinct places would not propose that there are not gay couples.

Answer 7

no
studiies show women are picking up the pace
it's estimated that 60% of couples cheat
the divorce rate is as high if not higher ( 85% for those who marry young )

Answer 8

Nope. I'm not trying to play with semantics here, but it stands to reason that it's possible to be unfaithful without sexual groping or intercourse happening. In so doing, the answer to your question is NO. Many people are having relations emotionally, but not physically.

Answer 9

I think at least 60% cheat
and I think cheating is anything more than a hug.
