 THE TALE OF A DEAD CHILD
Adultery is voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than his or her lawful spouse(Dictionary.com). Wikipedia  puts it that adultery is a type of extramarital sex. Historically, adultery has been considered to be a serious offense by many cultures and it almost always constitutes grounds for divorce.

Adultery involving a married woman and a man other than her husband was considered a very serious crime. And  an adulterer is a person who engages in sexual intercourse with another person at a time when he has a living spouse, or the other person has a living spouse.Adultery is considered by Christians to be immoral and a sin, if you read the  passage in 1 Corinthians 6:9–10.

Here I bring you the impact of adultery on James and Rose's marriage
James and Rose have been happily married for four years now. In this period they begot a baby girl who is now two years of age. They are Christians and James holds a respectable position in the church.
 One night in April of 2013, at about 8:00pm, James got a phone call by which he was informed that he had lost a child. His wife saw him unsettled and requested to know what the problem was. In response he simply told her that his friend had gotten a problem and he had to go and give help.He organized very fast and left.

The woman at home (wife) thought he would be back in a little  while for he was always early at home but he didn't return. She got very concerned and tried to call on his phone but he had switched it off. She then called his close sister who informed her that they were attending a funeral, because her(wife's)  husband had lost a child, she (sister) handed the phone to him but he failed to talk.

She thought that possibly he had had a child before they married who he didn't tell her of. In the following morning, she called upon some friends among whom were the church members to go for the burial. On getting to the funeral site, her husband got shocked to see his church members; he felt deeply ashamed. He went into a hiding, but later came to greet them.

When the group went into the house to see the dead, they discovered it was a very young child and the mother was known to some of them. This was when the wife got to know that he was cheating on her. She too got very much bothered in heart. The embarrassment was too much, but those who went for the burial agreed not to disclose this information, but it still leaked out.

 It is four months now since the death took place, but the man's behavior totally changed at home. He is too silent, he only answers what one has asked. He has failed to return to the church for fear of the embarrassment, his life is too low. He is very moody.

Appeal: I have read a book Entitled Choice and Consequences; it says that our decisions do affect our lives. The gentle man lost his public respect(dignity) and the trust of his wife. Now his actions are torturing him. Be careful to guard your marriages against such evils if you are not ready to bear the consequences.
