Eyes Only For Your Wife

We live in a culture where sexual promiscuity is everywhere and where sex before marriage is usually the norm and not the exception. I also know there are many men who have not done anything physical with a woman other than their wife. But does that mean everything is good? Not necessarily. One of the saddest things to me is watching the eyes of a married man checking out another women other than his wife. And I'm not talking about an accidental glance either. As his eyes wander, immediately his mind begins to be filled with lustful thoughts that he would want no-one else to know about. One of the most devastating things a married man can do is allow his eyes to look at other women, especially in front of his wife. He may think that she isn't aware of what he's doing, but often she does, and sooner or later will notice it. In Matthew 5:27-28 (The Message) Jesus tells us,"You know the next commandment pretty well, too: 'Don't go to bed with another's spouse.' But don't think you've preserved your virtue simply by staying out of bed. Your heart can be corrupted by lust even quicker than your body. Those leering looks you think nobody notices—they also corrupt." It's vital for married men to guard and protect what they allow their eyes to gaze upon. A simple lustful look can be the start of a very destructive and dangerous path. Don't be tempted and fall into one of Satan's most successful traps. Allow your eyes to feast upon your wife only. Let her know how much you love her. Train your eyes to focus on her and not other women, whether she's with you or not.
