How much do you love your wife?

I work in the middle east and a number of my friends are involved in extra-marital affairs. When I tell them that this is cheating and a manifestation that they don't love their wives, they tell me it is not but rather just a way of filling in the void and loneliness that they feel. What can you say? Would you have done the same if you really love your wife?

It is still cheating your partner. I will not act that way if I am in their situation because it will be unfair and if I do that it is like saying that I do not love my partner that much to say no to temptation.

It's wonderful to know that in this modern age where promiscuity is prevalent, there are still wonderful people like you who choose to remain loyal to their wife. May your tribe increase!

Treating anyone the way you normally should reserve for your spouse (emotionally or physically) is cheating. And wrong. You're not going to feel butterflies every time you see your partner. In the long run, that much adrenaline would kill you. But you remain faithful because every morning when you rise, you tell yourself, "Yes I love him/her, and I CHOOSE to act out my love today." Love is a choice you prove through your actions. That's why so many arranged marriages work. They CHOOSE to honor their parents choices, and in doing so may find love where none was. And that's why people in formerly loveless marriages find themselves in love again with their spouses. It's a choice.
