Without question, the most painful cause of divorce is betrayal through sexual infidelity. Psychologists say the third most frequent reason given for divorce is adultery of some kind, either heterosexual or homosexual. This despite God's specific prohibition: You shall not commit adultery.
Statistics reveal that about half of all married men and one-fourth of all married women commit adultery at some time during their married life. Extensive studies show that three groups of people are more likely than others to betray the marriage bed: (1) those who engaged in premarital sex, (2) those who are unhappy in their married life, especially their sex life, and (3) those who have no faith and religious affiliation. Some studies indicate three times as many non-churchgoers get involved as those who attend church.
Commenting on extramarital affairs, one prominent psychologist says, "Of all the hundreds of adulterers I have counseled, I have yet to meet a happy one." We simply cannot break the laws of God and get away with it. We must always remember that God's Ten Commandments are commandments, not suggestions.
“Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
Exodus 20:14 KJV
