This is a question on the ladies board, but I'd like to hear from all sides.

And, assuming most go with it is, then how about when your mind wanders when intimate? Is that cheating too?

And, assuming that is too, is there anyone who doesn't cheat?
Whether or not it is cheating, the more important questions are is it right? and does it give glory to God?

If we are unable to be satisfied with our spouse; how is he or she expected to feel when he or she finds out?

If we are unsatisfied with the spouse our Heavenly Father gave us; how does that reflect on our relationship with Him?

Wandering to someone else? Yes, would be considered adultery of the heart. But if your focus is solely on your spouse then obviously no issue.

it is important to remember that being tempted is not a sin. most ask the questions out of fear. NOT sound biblical teaching. Your mind will always wonder because it is Flesh . You have to renew it, submit to God resist the devil and he will leave you. IF you are not resisting then you are partispanting. Read Luke 4. Jesus resisted tamptation by the word of God. Do the same .

They (psychologists) say that if you entertain the thought for more than 3 seconds it will affect you.
When you are tempted you need to resist, say no, pray for help and you haven't done anything wrong if you don't continue to entertain the thoughts that are wrong.
Jas_4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Of course it is.You are lusting after someone else, rather than your wife!! You will become addicted, if you aren't already, then you won't even be able to have sex without a fix. Consider your wife's feelings , instead of concentrating only on yours.

it's quite simple, the marriage was a 'fraud' from the beginning, for the lost and the pretenders
will always find a way to justify their 'un-holy actions', by betraying the very ones that they
claim that they have committed themselves to for life...it's like cheating on Christ...
