       You could not serve God wholeheartedly if your were part of another religion, right? In the same way, you cannot love your wife affectionately, wholeheartedly, while you are having affections for another woman in your mind. But it is true that a lot of men, hopefully not Christian men, carry on an affair, or affairs, while married. These actions should never be part of the Christian man's life. If we do get caught up in them, it's because we didn't guard our minds of inappropriate thoughts about other women. That's why it is so important for us to guard our minds. We all know that adultery messes up and even destroys a lot of marriages. Even if the man is just committing the adultery one time only, and never sees the woman again, it still messes up your marriage. For one, if the man doesn't tell his wife, it will haunt him from time to time as he hopefully feels guilty about what he did. If he tells his wife, it will greatly hinder her trust in him—unless she already didn't trust him (which shouldn't be the case). But if she didn't, it will just give confirmation that her husband is untrustworthy. Either way, it messes up the marriage. Sin always has consequences.
