I Think Infidelity In Marriage Is Wrong

I grew up with a father who could not fathom how men cheated on their wives. I heard him say multiple times, "It's not that hard to be faithful." He set up boundaries for himself, such as never to be alone with another woman. He never let's himself email/text other non-related women with things not business related (he's a salesman, so he needs to talk to female customers.) My mom knows all of his passwords. Here's the thing: she never checks his accounts because she trusts him. She lives the same rules as he does, except with men. Dad knows all of Mom's passwords too... The actually share most accounts. They are going on 24 years of an imperfect, but happy marriage. My mom still gets giddy when my dad walks through the door. Dad calls her when he's bored and he knows she's at home. It's a wonderful example.

Now it's my turn to get married. My fiance agrees that within a marriage the rules my parents live by make sense. It's a bit harder to handle right now because we are students, but it's something we will do our best with. If cheating becomes a temptation, there is something wrong with the relationship that needs to be addressed. No skirting around it, just deal with it.

Infidelity is wrong in ANY committed relationship. I'm praying my soon-to-be-husband will always be faithful, but I want to always be faithful to him.
