Adultery can be Single or Double depending on whether one or both are married. Why is Extra-Marital Affair wrong?
1. The word given on the wedding day is a serious word. They contradict the significance of the sexual gesture performed with the spouse.
Sexual gesture points to a reciprocal gift and interior union. Relationship with a third party contradicts it.
2. Sexual act in Marriage expresses a fundamental option for the spouse.
Extra Marital Act directly compromises two persons in reciprocal choice and self-donation.
3. It destroys the intimacy of conjugal dialogue and uniqueness of the sexual language.
* Human person uses several languages. The Sexual gesture is the secret language reserved only for spouses. Extra- Marital Affairs becomes a betrayal of a secret.
4. Contradicts the basic respect due for a Human person.
- Person unique and non-exchangeable
- We exchange things but not persons
- Extra Marital Affair - people regard others not as a person but as a partner.
How healthy would a marriage be if the couple were unfaithful to their wedding vows?
In the domain of sexuality what is Jesus Calling us to?
* Neither sexual slavery nor sexual repression
* But Sexual Redemption
* Lust blinds us to the true beauty of the human body & of the true marital love.
The SPOUSES are MINISTERS
* MINISTERS of love and life
* Marital COVENANT is a permanent bond
* The marital covenant mirrors the DIVINE Covenant: The Christ-Church Union
* Married couple a living sign in the world.
* Marriage - a loving sign that communicates Permanence,togetherness & happiness.
