(Before I post I would just like to note that I don’t have any personal experience with this, and will write only on how I avoid this marriage wrecker.  I do have a degree in Psychology though, which is where I learned a lot of this.)

Your wedding is a contract.  A 3-way contract between you, your spouse, and God.  You are telling the world that your life will be intertwined with theirs for as long as you both live.  Cheating, or infidelity is an act that takes that contract and uses it like toilet paper.

With that picture in mind… what are some ways to avoid infidelity?

Tip 1:  Your spouse is the most beautiful person in the world, they are the measure by which you hold physical appearance.  I’ve been told this gets hard after a while, but that was just from divorced people…  We’ll check back on this one after I’ve been married for a few years.

Tip 2:  Sex is good for your marriage - really good.  In a marriage this single act helps man and wife focus on each other, and forget about other people for a while.  Plus it releases all kinds of cool chemicals in your brain that help you think better, cure headaches, improve creativity, and increase your regard for your spouse… all good things.

Tip 3:  Avoid old temptations.  Old exes should really be kept as far away as possible, just think about the crappy things they did that led to the break up and be so happy that your spouse won’t ever do that.  Additionally, if you lose control with things like alcohol, parties, or whatever; you should avoid these at all costs.
