Revenge cheating. Just don't! - Divorce Minister
These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
-James 1:15, NLT
Now, I understand the impulse. It feels like justice. However, it is definitely NOT justice!
Please, don’t do it.
I know some cheaters think the faithful spouse could never find someone for this. They are THAT arrogant and contemptuous. Let them be a fool. Don’t lower yourself to their dung pit level.
The thing about cheating is how it destroys both the marriage and the cheater. They have to live with the fact that they betrayed the closest person in their lives–namely their spouse–and made themselves liars by breaking their marriage vows.
I don’t want to be in that camp. That’s me.
Now, some cheaters deaden their conscience. Others deny reality of what they did. Some even lie to themselves about God approving their adultery. None of these are ultimately healthy in a spiritual sense.
