I'd have to say respect. I just couldn't go out and cheat on someone just because. I've always been that way. Plus, as many times as i have been cheated on, i wouldn't ever want to put anyone in those shoes. So i would say i respect him enough not to do that, and i love him a lot.

Relationships are to be kept between 2 people. If you intend on cheating on a person why be with them in the first place??? I have always remained faithful to the one I was with through thick and thin.
Guess a lot of it has to do with how a person is raised and how they are treated in the long run. My parents were always together through thick and thin until us girls were grown then they decided to go separate ways.
There has been discussion over the years whether or not divorce also causes problems with children when they grow up. In my opinion, your life is what YOU make it not what your parents made it.

I think you said it there,your life is what you make it.I was divorced and it wasn't hard on my daughter at all.She
told me she didn't mind that it happened.I think it is respect and love that keeps me faithful also.I love my husband and I wouldn't want him to go through that.So thats what keeps me faithful and that I know there are boundries that are not meant to be crossed.

bandirae,I also think that respecting the person enough not to do that is a good reason to stay faithful.

i would have to say it is all of the above. I have always believed that when you love someone you give them all that you have. there is no room for another person if you truly love one. I respect not only them, but myself. I wouldn't want to be cheated on so why would i cheat on them. it's also a belief of mine. I take marriage very seriously...it's not only a commitment between a man and woman, but between God as well. He doesn't take to kindly to someone screwing around and defiling a marriage. Whether i was a Christian, which i am, or not though it's the way i've always felt. I fall very easily and once i am in a committed relationship i will always be loyal and faithful until the end. I love having one special person in my life and would never do anything that would mess that up. Thankfully my husband feels the same way about this as well. thanks for posting and God bless

Thanks, it took me a long time to fully trust my husband which caused us problems in the beginning. I was cheated on by my first husband and that was very traumatic for me to deal with. My husband, now, and I got married four days before he went overseas the first time...so, trust was a big issue for me at first. When i learned i could completely trust him though it made things so much better and made us closer to one another. He had been cheated on to before we were married, by both his ex wives, so it took him some time to. We finally figured out, though, that we were committed to one another for the long hall and it wasn't just a game the other was playing. it's hard to trust again after having been cheated on before but it can happen and there are still people out there that have morals and value the person they are with. good luck and God bless

Glad to hear your testimony about your commited marriage.It helps to encourage others who have been cheated on that
they can learn to trust again when they find the right person.

What keeps me faithful to my partner is TRUST!
I trust him alot and he trusts me too, I am faithful to him becuase he is also faithful to me. He reminds me every day that he loves and cares for me. I have never doubted him for all the years i have known him.

You have a great relationship surrounded by love.It is sure nice to be able to trust and have that peace of mind.

First and foremost, Love. I love my husband. Secondly, there was a part in my marriage vows that said "Forsaking all others". I took those vows seriously.
No marriage is perfect, and I found that out with my first husband who cheated on me. Nobody deserves that. If you are not happy, seek counseling, not comfort elsewhere. If you can't resolve your problems with counseling, then file for divorce. Don't cheat, you have no idea what kind of damage that can do to a person mentally.

What love can do.Love is what makes all relationships work well.I think the person that cheats doesn't love their
partner enough to stay faithful.I think that a person shouldn't cheat in a relationship and they should just get out
if they don't want to try and work it out.Its really hurtful to be cheated on.

for me that three is the main component for you to stay faithful to your partner... if you have faith in your partner it follows your respect and of course your upbringing plays an important role for your being...its nice to see being true and loyal to your partner..

When you have faith in your partner is what really helps and possibly if you don't see your parents cheating thats
probably another important factor because people also learn by example.
