If you really love
someone, it does not mean that you will no longer have temptations.
What it does mean is that you will say NO to those temptations,
because love is a choice to keep yourself for that other person.
Love is not a feeling, it's a conscious commitment to sacrifice
your desires and temptations for the good of the other person.
If you even carry
this thought one step further, you are making the biggest
mistake of your life. Secret thoughts that may seem harmless
and private can be very dangerous because they usually lead
you closer to action. And infidelity will haunt you the rest
of your life. It is never ever worth the momentary thrill
you may experience. The pain of a ruined marriage and broken
family, and the devastation you will cause your children,
is unthinkable.
Ask
God for help
Realize that this
temptation can be overcome through God's help.
In the Bible it
states that His strength is made perfect in our weakness.
If you are having trouble overcoming your feelings or temptation
for this other person, ask God to help you. Invite Him into
your heart and life and let Him replace your desires with
the right kind of desires -- for your husband. You also need
to completely avoid this person and any situations in which
you will experience this temptation.
One
last thought -- it is very clear that your focus is distorted.
Instead of looking for someone else, you need to get your
focus back on your marriage and learn to appreciate what you
have. Remember: the grass is always greener where you water
it. Pour your energies and thoughts into your loving your
husband and watch that relationship flourish!
