Both men and women cheat on their spouses these days. How many of you believe that it is possible to be faithful both emotionally and physically to your spouse for as long as both of you shall live?
What are some of the reasons that people cheat on their spouses?
Gentlemen, is a physical relationship with just one woman, for as long as you shall live, satisfying or is it difficult for you to think of?

Maturity has a lot to do with whether one can be faithful or not. The values or rather personal convictions play a big role too... Is it ok to steal if no one catches you?
My point is It has to come from way down inside a person (the one who can be faithful 'till death do you part'.) I'd say be very, very careful who you give your heart to. It is hard to find someone who will stand by those values!

Actually in certain groups married and a singular intimate relationship is a given. Cheating is never even considered, it is not a concept that enters their reality. The relationship is very satisfying and made more special by the fact that it is only between two people. As long as people understand how critical that relationship is to the health of the relationship then the couple nutures it together for the next 50=60 years.

Yes I believe that it is VERY possible to be both physically and emotionally faithful to your spouse as long as you both shall live. Personally I think the reason that people cheat is because they don't feel that they are being satisfied by what they want, and they don't put their spouse or their spouses feelings and needs before their own.
I am very satisfied in my marriage with my wife and couldn't imagine being with another woman. I love my wife with all my heart and it's been very rewarding. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary last Aug. and we have 3 beautiful children who have been such a blessing in our lives. My wife has been a blessing in my life, and she makes me happy. And I am commited to making her happy.

Of course it's possible, but sometimes along the long married years way, the spouses meet people they would feel attracted to and it's hard to turn down this instinctive feeling of loving and being loves...and if the married couple's relationship is strong no one could come between them...but if the one of them is not getting the desired attention and love from the other, they will fall into temptation and cheat.

I married my first wife till death do us part. While married I never wanted to be with another woman. I was head over heels in love. A physical relationship with this single woman was satisfying for me, but she proved to be dissatisfied with monogamy. After 7 years and 2 kids, she broke up the family to live with her former boss. She did, and still continues, to justify her deception and rewrites history to support her lies. It's a real shame.
I think about what went wrong so I don't repeat the problems in my new marriage. Men and women will always be attracted to others, but monogamy depends on the moral fibers that make a person. Marriage isn't honored by society like it used to be (and should be), so many people are accepting of affairs. There's no more social shame. We've moved from banishment to acceptance, and are teaching our children that there are no consequences for bad actions.
The short answer to your question is yes, people are capable of committing their lives to a single spouse; and I'm living proof of it. The frequency of affairs will only decrease when people speak up about this selfish behavior.

Yes I believe it is possible to be faithful both emotionally and physically to your spouse until "death do you part". Some people cheat on each other because they believe the romance is gone and dried out. However, that is not the case. They just dried out the possibility.

My wife and I are very happily married since 1975. She is the greatest thing in my LiFe. We have three children and one grandchild. We have never "been with anyone else" since we began going out a few years before we married. We attended college and worked our way thru there. We worked several jobs together and have been as happy as any couple that I know. We are BOTH CHRISTIANS and believe that GOD is the most important thing in our lives. HE has brought us much closer together than anything else. I have no idea why anyone would marry someone then "cheat" on them. This is a great sin in GOD's eyes and causes great strain in the mate's relationship with him/her. My relationship with my wife is absolutely perfect. She will be the only woman that I ever want to be with. Have a great evening.

Hundreds of millions of folk have done it for a very long time!
People have 'cheated' on their spouse for thousands of years!
Although many of us never have cheated, this will likely always be the case in some respect.
I do not know why folk cheat. In my married life I never have! I doubt I could live with myself (comfortably) if I did.
I took my marriage very seriously and I waited a very long time to find my 'perfect woman'. I would never 'cheat' on her!

The phyisical is important and with a little imagination will not dull or sour. This is my 2nd marrage, the first breaking up when my 1st wife entertained "visitors" while I was away at work. My 2nd marrage is 17 years old and we fit together well, extremily well. We have the same goals in life and most important, the same values. Trust and respect is a two way street and we are walking it. So, Yes, it is possible.

Yes, it is possible. Most people cheat because they are not being full filled emotionally. Even sex for most people is an extremely emotional connection. When that emotional need is not full filled and the other person in the relationship is not willing to full fill it then, people have a tendency to get desperate.
