An open marriage. [Romans 6 v23]

The young and very attractive young lady,looked out at me from the pages of a glossy magazine,this young and foolish young lady was giving an account of her open marriage.She and her husband had agreed that they could have sexual relationships with other people.Her husband was away from home a great deal ,so they thought that this was good idea.They had their ground rules,he had sex with prostitutes,and others,she told of her sexual encounters.She did not express any concern as to what she was doing
it was to her and her husband,a logical thing to do.When I had finished reading the article,I found myself saying but they are sinning,they are
breaking Gods law,which tells us clearly,that we are not to commit adultery.
[Exodus 20 v14]Sin is not just  the wrong things we do to each other, our wrong actions  are against a holy God.[ Psalm 51 v4]It can never be seen as
acceptable,no matter how we dress it up,no matter how sophisticated it appears no matter how we rationalise it.Adultery is a sin,you do not have be a genius to see the awful consequences of adultery,in our society.God tells us clearly that adultery is a sin,and sin always has consequences,always.
                                           A  prayer
Dear God help us, to not lean upon our own understanding,your word tells us adultery is a sin,help us not to yield to temptation,help us to seek forgiveness,through your son Jesus,Amen
