In this modern world, is it possible to remain faithful to your spouse?

Well, let me bold and frankly tell you that the fact that men and women are now closer in their place of work and that women are financially independetn has nothing to do with fidelity. Fidelity comes, by choice, when two people are in love. Perhaps people who are in a relationship for the sake of society, find it hard to be faithful with other attractive people lying around. But for people who are trully in love, fidelity comes naturally. So no, the modern world has nothing to do with peoples' failed relationships.

I think as adults we have the ability to make responsible choices so it is up to us whether want to remain faithful or not. Even if you are attracted to someone, you can have self control and not act on the attraction. Is it possible to remain faithful? Absolutely! Now do some people choose not to be faithful? Yes, but remember it is a choice.

I think it is possible for people to be faithful to their spouses but it takes both people working together and it's not easy - it takes determination and commitment.

It's absolutely possible. A commitment is a commitment whether times have changed or not. It may be more common place for people to become unfaithful and I do think that commitments aren't taken as seriously or honored as they should anymore. But if two people truly love each other and are seriously committed to one another then remaining faithful is 100% possible.

Yup! It is, my friend. You should be remain faithful to your wife because it doesn't mean that the modern era will be on change you also change your wife...That is a kind hypocrisy, my friend. Think about it if the modern times will change. Do you you can also find a modern wife? Or let say your wife will not be capable because she is not modern? What real is that when times became modern. Your wife is still your wife and do not change it and most especially love your wife whatever happen...

Hello Its great that woman are finally being appreciate for the smart hardworking people we are. As for cheating I don't think all men cheat, there are some that actually enjoy their significant others and will never think be unfaithful, for the men that cheat I think some woman made this easy by forgiving them, I will never forgive a cheat there is no excuse for it in my opinion if this is what he has to do then I am not the woman for him, some woman should kick these men to the curb and not make excuses for their wrong doings, cheating men make me sick, their should be a law against this. Cheating woman well no seriously, same thing, I don't think woman cheat as much as men, if you believe this then prove it, we are too good at it, you will never know when a woman is cheating, not that this is right, but we cheat for different reasons then men, so we may be justified. Thank you.

I do think it is possible. I have friends who are faithful to their spouses. I have seen elderly couples holding hands at the park... In my opinion, as long as one loves and respects his partner, he will remain faithful to the partner.

If you put your love and the integrity of your relationship a top priority in your life then it is very very possible. I don't NEED a man for financial help or anything for that matter. If I am with a man that I care about and love then I would never compromise that by doing something so blatantly disrespectful to the relationship such as cheating. I have never cheated on a man in my life. I have had relationships end because my partner cheated or for other reasons but I've been able to walk away with a clear concious that whatever problems we had and even my part in the problems....it was never that I did not put forth my best effort to make it work. When I was in an abusive marriage, thoughts of wondering what it would be like to be in a healthy relationship did cross my mind frequently. I never acted on those thoughts. I think people turn to someone else at the first sign of trouble when really they should turn to each other and try to work thru the problems.

hi vijayanths, good question you have...well for me, it is a choice for a men or a women for being faithful to their spouse...in our modern world right now temptation is always there including our modern technologies through internet/chat/phones etc. also with your workplace, and different kind of places which you can go for relaxations don't know if my term is right ^__^ but i would say like bar/spa you know what i mean....i would say it's a choice for both of them if they really want to have a peaceful life, me as a wife, i am faithful to my husband through thoughts and of course physically because i marry him for love and promise to love him...he and only him in front of many people....and i also trust him 100%...thanks and happy mylotting

Yes, it's possible to stay true to your spouse. We have an understanding, my spouse and I: "It's okay to look but we cannot try it on." There's is nothing wrong with appreciating another's body but surely don't lust after it. My husband and I have been married 27 years and the above philosophy has worked for us. I guess with someone who is weak minded it would be a trip in folly land and a quick divorce.

Mr vijayanths Being faithful depends on your character and lover towards your beloved spouse. If you love your spouse very much then there is no question of unfaithfulness. being independent does'nt mean that she is not faithful to you right!!! Now coming to thoughts Dirty brain of a human is well matured and it will definitely thinks DIRTY THOUGHTS.... just like Dogs attitude ..

Yes it is more then possible. And it is sad that so many people expect that to change. I certainly hope it does not.

Hi vijayanths,Yes! If you believe in God and you are a God fearing person,I do believe that you will remain faithful to your spouse.For me, we must respect the matrimony of marriage because it is the will of God.Good Luck!

I think men and women can be faithful to one another, but it has to be a conscious choice. So many people that are unfaithful blame their significant other for their infidelity. They use excuses like "He works all the time", "she got fat", "I miss the romance", things like that. There's no excuse for it as far as I'm concerned. If someone is so unhappy with the status quo as to start cheating then they shouldn't be in that relationship. Or maybe they should put more energy into changing the relationship for the better rather than going out and being unfaithful.

It is possible. I agree that the society and the circumstances have changed a lot making both the man and the woman exposed to temptation. The advent of cell phone alone and the internet has multiplied cases of adultery exponentially because men and women are put closer together. Inspite of all of these, the couple can remain faithful to each other should they decide and are determined to do so. cheers!

Hai Vijanth, Shobhan here. Remember me ---- Writingcampus.com?????? Nice to see you here. Hope you and your family are fine and in the pink of health. Sorry for diverting from the topic but I'm just happy to see you here. Well, regards the topic in question, I should say that LOVE keeps the world going round. One can have many forms of LOVE and FAITHFULNESS. One should be able to differentiate the different types of love and faithfulness. Albeit, love and faithfulness are spelt the way it is spelt, they can mean different in the context it is used. A man or woman can love and be faithful to many people but in different context. Love for a child is different from love for a wife. Love for a friend is different from love for one's job, etc..... The case is the same where faithfulness is concerned. Though the world has grown smaller with the high tech lifestyle of today, moral values and ethics should remain unchanged. Moral values and ethics of yesteryears should be the same till today because it involves the spirit and the soul. The modern world has only changed physically NOT ETHICALLY OR SPIRITUALLY!!!! It is up to individuals to be morally conscious of proper and improper actions, values, principles and ethics!!!

That is a very hard question. I had been asking that for a long time now. Some men have become bored with their lives that they seek excitement. Others still wanted to prove their being macho. Some women have fallen out of love. Whatever the reason is, one thing is for sure, one is bound to be hurt in this scenario.

hi,i strongly believe we should be faithful to our spouses both in mind and physically,if not,why do we get married,we promised we will love forever,if we dont love any more,pls let one go and get his love,but not cheat each other,it may bring great harm to your spouse,dont think so?

i don't what kind of bold and frank responses you are expecting from? i think some times you also advice others that "Nothing is Impossible in this World." i know all five fingers are not equal, but if you have good understanding behavior towards your spouse then this is not impossible. Mind is free for everything to think, so if sometimes one think about it then it can not be treated all time unfaithful. The such thoughts can be for limited times only. Physically !!! be honest to your spouse, and also trust your spouse. this can happen or that can happen lets not get anemic for this. Control yourself, nothing is impossible.

hi there, My answer is in the affirmatine. I mean why not, a person must have empathy on how his or her spouse would feel if the other cheats. Aside from the fact that it could destroy a family, a future of hapiness and on extreme cases it can even lead to diseases.
