FIDELITY

In a recent Internet poll, surfers were asked: “Would You Have Sex With A Stranger For A Million Dollars?” Here was the response at the time I viewed the results:

Yes, No Brainer, in a Heartbeat. 40%

Depends On Their Gender. 21%

Never, I'm Not For Sale. 27%

I'd Let My Partner Decide. 7%

I've Known Him/Her For Three Hours Does That Count? 2%

Jude 18-19 NASB “That they were saying to you, "In the last time there shall be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts." [19] These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit.”

 

FIDELITY

Actress Kate Hudson says she believes monogamy is not realistic in the world today, but says couples have the power to be faithful. Speaking in a television interview on the syndicated program, "Access Hollywood", the 26 year-old actress said, "I don't believe (monogamy) is realistic. But, I believe that we, as people, have the power to make it happen."

Hudson married Chris Robinson from the music group Black Crowes in December 31, 2000. The couple has an 18-month-old son named Ryder. When she was asked if she thought her husband had remained faithful, Hudson said, "If you focus your attention on that, then you are always wondering if your husband or men are out there cheating on you. If for some reason, that's what he has got to do, I just don't want to know. As long as things are good in our house, just please, don't get caught." When asked about her our faithfulness, Hudson added, "I will not disrespect my husband and stray."

Hebrews 13:4 (HCSB) "Marriage must be respected by all, and the marriage bed kept undefiled, because God will judge immoral people and adulterers."


FIDELITY

 

Just last year actor Thomas Middleditch revealed that he and his wife, costume designer Mollie Gates were swingers, accepting other sexual partners. He said that swinging saved their marriage. It turns out that Mollie was not as enthralled with the extra-marital sex as he. They are getting a divorce.
