       The Apostle Paul told the Corinthians in his second letter, and I think it can be used in our discussion today, that: “For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:2, 3, ESV). Our thoughts are always at risk. That’s why we have to kept them pure. And women shouldn’t throw in the towel on their marriage, but rather should try their hardest to make it work out. A woman also has to remember that her thoughts about another man she doesn’t know very well may not be completely true, and probably are not. For a married woman, when admiring another man, who is not her husband, she will only see the good things about that person. She most likely will fail to see the bad things. But when a woman stops thinking about another man, she can again focus on her husband.
