\"\"I was watching on the news as the announcement was made that the wife of Mark Sanford, Governor of South Carolina had released a tell-tale book about her husband\u2019s affair with a mistress in Argentina.<\/p>\n

It seems a little odd, doesn\u2019t it, that so soon after the event she is writing a book to air her grievances.\u00a0 And from a certain point of view, she really doesn\u2019t have anything to complain about.\u00a0 Yeah, I said it.\u00a0 This woman shouldn\u2019t be writing a book complaining about her unfaithful husband because she joined him in his plans to be unfaithful.\u00a0 How do I know?\u00a0 Read on.<\/p>\n

It was announced that when they were going over their marriage vows some twenty years ago, he objected to the word \u201cfaithful\u201d and wanted it taken out.\u00a0 And she capitulated.\u00a0 And in the moment she did, she joined him as a co-conspirator in the demise of their marriage<\/strong>. What was she thinking?<\/p>\n

What is it with all these weak women who will give in to almost anything to get a man down the aisle, to get him to say \u201cI do,\u201d maybe in the hopes that \u201cI\u2019ll change him later?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ladies, when you date a guy, he comes \u201cas is.\u201d\u00a0 God can change him but you can\u2019t.\u00a0 Nagging won\u2019t change him.\u00a0 Compromising won\u2019t change him.\u00a0 If he is an unfaithful rascal when you date him and marry him, he\u2019ll be an unfaithful rascal twenty years down the road.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, I have sympathy for Governor Sanford\u2019s wife.\u00a0 Yes, he\u2019s a pig. We all agree on that.\u00a0 But before you get too teary-eyed over this poor woman\u2019s pain remember, she agreed to it the day she married him<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my point.\u00a0 Ask for what you want in a marriage up front, during the dating.\u00a0 Talk about it. Get to know each other.\u00a0 Set the standard.\u00a0 Faithfulness ought to be a baseline. <\/strong>If your fiance` objects to using the word \u201cfaithful,\u201d walk away.\u00a0 No, don\u2019t walk away, run away!\u00a0 Because this is a person who promises you that after you help make them faithful, have their children, and serve them through a lifetime of faithful companionship, they will screw you over, kick you to the curb, and all you\u2019ll have left is a tell-tale book that will make you a cautionary tale for your brief, fifteen minutes of fame<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
