My consensus is this:
If you have to hide from your partner, what you're doing, it's wrong. And we're not talking about surprise birthday parties, here.
From a Biblical perspective, the concept of marriage and relationships is viewed as a sacred covenant between two people, emphasizing commitment, loyalty, and faithfulness. In this context, seeking sexual gratification outside of the marriage or committed relationship can be seen as a breach of that covenant.
Matthew 19:6: "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
Hebrews 13:4: "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
These verses highlight the importance of commitment, loyalty, and faithfulness in relationships. Trust, respect, commitment, faithfulness, and honesty, are essential components of any relationship.
I think people should have their privacy. I certainly don't want people, or even if I were married, my husband checking up on me all time, as if I were guilty of something. That's mistrust. That's control. Where there's no trust, there's no relationship. I would give him no reason to feel like he had to check up on me all the time, anyway, being an honest person and up front. Everyone deserves their privacy. If a partner has to constantly check the other's phone, that's not trust. That's suspicion, and control.
