People are not always distinguished by their loyalty to their soul mate. Some people easily decide to cheat and do it for various reasons. However, there is an opinion that cheating is not just a betrayal, but also a sin.
Instructions
Step 1
Cheating is a tragedy that destroys even the strongest families. Orthodox people know how difficult it is to love something other than your enemy, even your neighbor. Of course, this is not so easy, but if you have God in your soul, it is quite possible. Most often, adultery is not a consequence of love for another person, it is a satanic temptation. Love is considered the work of God, and adultery is the work of Satan. That is why people must obey God and fulfill his commandments in order not to fall for this adultery. And if you break even one commandment, even the smallest one, you can break absolutely the whole Law of God.
Step 2
Orthodoxy blesses any marriage for love. Although some people think about how Orthodoxy can bless a family in which there is still no real love. In fact, according to Christianity, marriage was created so that people learn to love each other and their children. Having learned to love his loved ones, a person learns to love other people who surround him. If you and your soulmate got married in a church or underwent some other rituals, adultery should be completely forbidden for you. There is a commandment that forbids adultery. And this commandment does not have any reservations and exceptions that make it possible to find at least some kind of justification for oneself after committing a betrayal.
Step 3
Of course, in every Orthodox family it may happen that a person will have some kind of temptation. And if one could not resist in front of him, it is worth remembering how one of the holy ascetics taught: “If you fall, get up. If you fell again, get up again.” And the Lord said this: "Where I find you, that is what I judge." And you need to do everything so that the Lord does not find you when you stumbled and fell. After each fall, you need to get up, no matter how strong and dangerous this fall may be.
Step 4
Those romantic feelings that were before marriage will sooner or later pass. Well, if you really love your soul mate, even in the case of cooling feelings, it is quite possible to give up all the temptations that appear on your life path. This should be done at least as a sign of respect for your partner. Yes, treason is a sin that can hardly be atoned for by prayer. However, if a person has decided to take the path of correction and will never commit betrayal again, most likely his mistake will be forgiven after some time.
