     Sexually oriented sins entail a special collection of sins which thrive on the sexual drive of the Christian. These sins are special because they thrive on the sexual passion (which is very strong and can get out of control), which God has placed in man to be shared in marriage. Most Christians find it very difficult to overcome sexually oriented sins. These include fornication, adultery, pornography, masturbation and other sexual perversions.

317. Marriage Isn't For Wimps by Pam Frey  
     Unrealistic expectations in marriage can be very damaging to your relationship with your spouse. If we are not careful, bitterness and resentment can take root, which will not only become a much worse problem in your relationship with your spouse, but will also damage your fellowship with the Lord. We cannot walk in unforgiveness and in close fellowship with the Lord at the same time. Many marriages could be saved if our attitude were one of, how can I serve my spouse and in doing so serve the Lord.

     Who are you trusting in when things go wrong in your marriage? Are you trusting in self, or perhaps you go running to family and friends, explaining your side of the story?

     Society has taken marriage and turned it upside down.
