ManOfTrueTruth said:I have to disagree. I don't think you are being honest with yourself. Lust and love are two different things. In order to maintain love you must sometimes resist lust. Anybody who is married and says that they have never been tempted, is lying. The question lies in how you deal and resist temptation, because sex, is only temporary and does not offer the promise of long term relationship and happiness. Temptation is everywhere and anybody can be tempted. The truth, heart and soul is forever while physical appearances, perception, deception and material things are only temporary. It is only the truth, heart and soul which can give you happiness in the long term.
Think what you like. No one said you had to have the same views as me. But I think it's quite presumptuous of you to say that I'm not being honest with myself when you don't know anything about me OR my marriage. I can very honestly say that I have not encountered a single person in the past three years that has attracted me enough for me to want to sleep with them, other than my husband, of course. And even if I had? I'd never act on it. My husband and I have a good life together, and I wouldn't trade it for anything that I can think of right now. Now, if Kasey Kahne asked me to marry him, I might have to rethink that, but seeing as how that'll never happen, I think I'm pretty safe in saying that I have no temptations. Mainly because I don't even put myself into situations where temptation might arise.
Regardless.....think what you want. I was merely sharing what my experiences have been; never said that everyone else had to think the exact same way.
