Ten Words - 7th Word - Faithful Spouse
Exodus 20:14 / Deuteronomy 5:18

Seventh Word - You shall not commit adultery. Exodus 20:14

The Corrosion of Covenant Love.
* The trends of marital relationships.
* The trust that is eroded by inconsistency.
* The troubles caused by “blowing-off” God’s wisdom.

The Examples of Myopic Love.
* Joseph and Potiphar’s wife. Genesis 39:6-15
* David and Bathsheba. 2 Samuel 11:2-5
* Man and woman caught in adultery. John 8:1-11

The Ingredients for a Lasting Love.
* Respect
Ephesians 5:33; 1 Peter 3:7
* Responsibility
Philippians 2:4-5
* Recreation
Ecclesiastes 9:9
* Romance
Proverbs 3:21, 23; 5:18-19
* Resolve
Malachi 2:15; Proverbs 4:23

It is as absurd to say that a man can’t love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music.
