  • When a spouse gives their other spouse all their love; trust and loyalty they always feel their spouse will do the same so when the spouse has an affair it comes as a shock to the other spouse. It is heartbreaking; that treasured bond of trust you once had in your spouse has gone and not easily earned back. It is normal to envision your cheating spouse being with someone else and enjoying themselves and it makes you question yourself as far as 'did I do something wrong; perhaps not enough and I let my partner down'; 'is our sexual relationship not good enough and did I do anything wrong; to 'does my cheating spouse think I am not attractive enough' or in some cases 'have I lost my looks and I'm too old and they don't want me anymore.' This makes the victim of a cheating spouse feel insecure and eventually they become angry and resentful and find it difficult to forgive their spouse for the cheating; the victim cannot feel sympathy for their spouse; the victim has a deep seated urge to pay back their cheating spouse for all the hurt he/she caused them and this in turn involves a poor sexual relationship because the victim feels when their cheating spouse is making love they are still thinking of the other person they cheated with. Marriage counseling can help, but it is entirely up to you (you hold the power) to either move on from the marriage or see a marriage counselor to learn the tools to deal with any problems in your marriage, but it takes the both of you to make it work. As far as your trust in your spouse it will take time and it is entirely up to them to earn that trust again.

What does you shall not commit adultery mean?

Having sex outside of marriage, either yours, or your partner's or that of you both. Felt I needed to correct this answer because it's not at all true how God sees adultery. The bible tells us that in God's eyes it is even wrong to lust within our hearts. You can commit adultery even if you don't commit a sexual act. It's sharing a sexual or intimate bond (something you wouldn't do with that person if your spouse was around) with someone other than your spouse. If you are taking away your gift of intimacy a married couple is supposed to have, whether it is sexual, physical, mental, or emotional, if you are taking that from your marriage and giving it to someone other than your spouse, you have committed adultery. Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery. - Hebrews 13:4

Is it true most people including Christians are not aware that a second marriage is adultery and a sin unless the first spouse has passed away?

I AM a Christian and was married when younger to a verbal/physical abuser and I tried in my marriage for 3 1/2 years, but it takes two. I always believed once you were married you were married for life. However, God expects both parties in a marriage to have respect for each other and I doubt very much it's a sin (I don't feel guilty) to have tried in a marriage such as mine and divorced. I met and married a wonderful man some years later and we will be married 35 years this August. First , a second marriage is only adultery and a sin if the first spouse never committed fornication. Mt:19:9: And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. Second,in the case of abuse,exodus 20:13:Thou shalt not kill;this includes yourself by staying in a relationship with an abusive spouse,but I am not referring to divorce .I am just referring to removing yourself from a dangerous situation (like living with such a spouse).

What is the process for filing taxes if your spouse passes away?

When a spouse passes away, the surviving spouse can file taxes jointly for the year of the spouse's death. In subsequent years, the surviving spouse can file as a qualifying widow or widower if eligible, or as single. It's important to report the deceased spouse's income up to the date of death and to obtain a Tax ID number for the estate if necessary.
