Infidelity

Today in my Family Relations class we were discussing infidelity. My teacher made a connection between an old vinyl record and marriage. Even though a vinyl record doesn't sound quite as perfect as a digital cd, we still really enjoy the sound of the vinyl. This relates to marriage because even though our marriages aren't perfect, we still prefer the imperfect marriages to the perfect ones. If we had perfect marriages, then there would be know room to grow. You wouldn't be able to become closer to your spouse because, I believe, you grow closer when you have to go through trials together. That is why we shouldn't try to seek out a sexual relationship with someone other than your spouse, or even become emotionally attached to someone else. Some people will say that my husband/wife wasn't paying any attention to me or that they weren't emotionally there for me. They may then have a fling with someone, or become emotionally attached to someone else. This is a mistake because even if you leave your husband/wife for your new lover, everything's not always going to be sunshine and daisies then either. You have to realize the importance of your relationship with your spouse is and appreciate the little things that you do have. Having an affair will not make you feel fulfilled. If anything, it will make you feel worse. So tell your spouse how you feel and let them know what your needs are. They might just not know, and maybe they will try a little harder to fulfill your needs.
