Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.


"Wow, this girl in my office is a real looker. But it's not her Wynona

Rider features that got me. I'm crazy about her because she's also

understanding, intelligent, tender - so many things that my spouse is

not."


Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman or a man who will be more

charming or sensitive. More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer. Have

greater sex appeal.


And you will find a woman or a man who will need you and pursue you

and go loco over you more than your spouse ever did. Because no wife or

husband is perfect. Because a spouse will only have 90% of what you're

looking for. So adultery takes place when a husband or wife looks for the missing 10%.


Let's say your wife is melancholic by nature. You may find yourself

drawn to the pretty clerk who has a cherry laugh no matter what she

says : "I broke my arm yesterday, Hahahaha......"


Or because your wife is a homebody in slippers and pyjamas, smelling

of garlic and fish oil, you may fall for a fresh-smelling young sales

representative that visits your office in a sharp black blazer, high

heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt.


Or because your husband is the quiet type, your heart may skip a beat

when you meet an old college flame who has the makings of a talk show

host.


BUT WAIT! That's only 10% of what you don't have. Don't throw away the

90% that you already have!


That represents all the years that you have been with each other.


The storms you have weathered together.

The unforgettable moments of sadness and joy as a couple.

The many adjustments you have made to love each other.

The wealth of memories that you've accumulated as lovers.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.


But faithfulness happens when you THANK GOD for what you already have.


But I'm not just talking about marriage. I'm talking about life!

About jobs.

About your friends.

About your children.

About your lifestyles.



Are you like the economy airline passenger that perennially peeks

through the door of the first class cabin, obsessed with what he's

missing?


"They have got more leg room! Oh my, their food is served in

porcelain!

Wow, their seats recline at an 80% angle and they've got personal

videos!" I guarantee you'll be miserable for the entire trip!



Don't live your life like that. Forget about what the world says is

first class.



Do you know that there are many first class passengers who are

miserable in first class - because they're not riding in a private Lear Jet?



The main message :

If you start appreciating what you have right now, wherever you are IS

first class!

May your day be filled with blessings like the sun that lights the sky.

And may you always have the courage to spread your wings and fly!
