Signs Of Infidelity In Marriage
Signs of Infidelity in Marriage might include a spouse who is withdrawn or depressed, is emotionally distant, verbally abusive, self-absorbed, works longer hours than usual, takes up a new hobby, starts listening to different types of music, and quits wearing his or her wedding ring. If a spouse becomes obsessive about the Internet there could be a problem. Online dating and chat rooms make it easy for an adult to cheat. Using more call and text minutes on a cell phone is another one of the signs of infidelity in marriage. Of course, these occurrences do not always mean that your partner is having an affair but noticing these could be a sign that you need to pay attention. "Then when lust hath conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death" (James 1:15).
A partner who is having an affair may suddenly ask for a divorce. When a person does not have a valid reason for wanting a separation and then just all the sudden one day asks for a divorce then there's a good chance that he or she is guilty of being unfaithful. Signs of infidelity in marriage are not always obvious until something major happens. Then when a spouse finds out the truth he or she may look back over the previous weeks and months and understand why there were changes in behavior. Sometimes the changes are subtle and can even seem like good changes. A spouse may jump at the chance to run errands or may offer to take the dog on long walks. When changes are good we often do not notice or question them.
Losing weight all of the sudden can be one of the signs of infidelity in marriage. Someone who has never worried about their weight before that begins exercising and eating less can be suspicious. There is the possibility that he or she has read an article or a book that helped to jump start weight loss. Primping and changing one's appearance is another clue of something fishy going on especially if the partner has never done this before. He may dye his hair to cover the grey or she may opt for a totally different hair color. The influences for making the change could be coming from a friend who got a makeover and looked fabulous. However, changes like this can also be a sign that someone might be involved with someone else.
Taking up a new hobby does not necessarily mean unfaithfulness but when the hobby is something he or she has never cared to do then you might want to look for other signs of infidelity in marriage. Perhaps playing golf is the new hobby or jogging every morning. These do not seem extreme but if you have suggested jogging and your spouse has made it plain that he would never do that then it might seem quite strange when he starts jogging every morning. If there is suspect of a spouse being unfaithful use wisdom. Do not accuse but pay attention to what is going on. Do not get paranoid over everything that he or she does. The best way to handle concerns is to just ask. Also, do not make assumptions and start letting your imagination run away with itself. Pray, seek advice from a pastor or friend. Make an effort to give a partner the benefit of the doubt until there is a confession or there is proof.
Workplaces in today's world foster teamwork. Men and women work together in the same office and have a lot of contact because of teamwork or just because they sit close together and have a lot of interaction. This makes it easy to get close to peers. Sometimes that closeness can lead to other things if both people are not careful. Signs of infidelity in marriage might include a spouse wanting to spend more time at work. When a person starts entertaining obsessive thoughts about someone else then there is a problem. Wanting or desiring someone other than a spouse is dangerous. If these types of thoughts are entertained then the Bible tells us that we are already committing adultery (Matthew 5:28).
God's word tells us that we need to control our body. We need to go to any extreme to avoid sexual immorality. Christians can fall into this type of sin if we are not careful. Signs of infidelity in marriage should serve as a warning to all Christians to be careful. The flesh can be difficult to manage except that we have the Holy Spirit to help us. If this one sin can put a wedge between partners so much that divorce is the result then this should also tell us that it will put a wedge between us and God. Repent of any thoughts that have to do with infidelity and find a way to take those thoughts and make them captive to Christ. Pray continuously, read God's word, meditate on the scriptures that have to do with sexual immorality and have other Christians pray with you. Seek God and do not allow this sin to take hold of you.
It is a common thing to become bored with one's partner after awhile. Instead of looking elsewhere take a moment and find a way to put the spark back in your marriage. Do some research on signs of infidelity in marriage and realize that giving in to this can ruin a relationship. Find out about couples retreats for Christians. Go on a weekend getaway. Get some marriage counseling. The point is that there are ways to refresh a relationship especially if a couple will submit this situation to God and spend a lot of time in prayer for one another. Don't allow the enemy to deceive you with a pretty face.
