—Hebrews 13:1-6
by: Judith Houts.
Defiling the marriage bed is clearly against God’s standard (Exodus 20:14). Unfortunately, very little has been preached about defiling the marriage bed with the mind. Laying in either a tangible or a fantasized bed with someone other than your spouse is called adultery by God (Matthew 5:28). We need to be aware of toxic thoughts and actions. God expects faithfulness not only in earthly marriages but also in spiritual ones. Just as a spouse is not to defile the bed, neither is the Bride of Christ to defile her heart. A godly and faithful heart goes hand in hand with fidelity in marriage.
