It’s a normal day at work. As the clock signals break time, a group of colleagues heads to a coffee shop to socialise and take their minds off work. Among them, a married man sits across from a co-worker and they begin a light and friendly conversation, filled with seemingly harmless jokes and shared glances. For him, this interaction feels completely innocent – after all, he loves his wife and would never cheat on her.
However, as days go by, their conversations grow deeper, evolving into a desire to be closer to each other. Still, he doesn’t see anything wrong with this; it’s just a friendly exchange among co-workers. Until one evening, after a work event, he crosses a line he never thought he would. By the time he realises the gravity of his actions, it’s too late. A thoughtless moment has shattered years of marriage, created distance between him and his children and even jeopardised the stable financial position he had built through his job due to the high costs of divorce.
Infidelity doesn’t happen in a single moment; it builds over time, often starting as something seemingly insignificant. It begins in the heart and mind before manifesting as a concrete action. In Matthew 5:27-28, Jesus teaches His disciples: “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
Moreover, infidelity is encouraged by negative spiritual influences, as the devil promotes anything that can destroy marriages and families. Many people, despite knowing they are wrong, struggle to resist this temptation because they do not recognise the spiritual aspect behind this behaviour.
The consequences of betrayal include pain, frustration, separation, guilt, shame and regret. Even if an affair remains secret, those involved carry a burden on their conscience that prevents them from finding peace. If children are involved in the marriage, the repercussions extend even further. Kids may not understand the details, but they can sense the tension, pain and fractures within their family. Divorce or prolonged conflict can leave lasting emotional scars on children, affecting their perception of love and trust in their own future relationships.
But how to avoid being part of this sad reality? The answer is: fighting with spiritual weapons.
