“thou Shall Love Your Spouse” (7) Series

Contributed by Ovidiu Radulescu on Mar 4, 2011

Marriage is all about giving, but adultery is all about taking. Adultery breaks every other commandment. Adultery is stealing, it's lying, it's coveting... Adultery is the supreme example of selfishness. You say: I deserve to be happy, I need this for me.
