Faithfulness is Both Avoiding Wrong and Doing Right

In a recent Doing Marriage Well post, my wonderful wife suggested that being faithful means doing what you should as well as not doing what you should not! Her example was:

Certainly, I want to be faithful sexually to my sweetie (not cheat on him), but am I faithful to take care of his sexual needs and wants. There’s faithful to not do and faithful to do.

Changing the meaning of word. Unfaithful into Faithful.

While we often think first of sex when discussing faithfulness, there are a lot of other areas where we need to be faithful to our wives.

  • Being faithful with money is about not spending it on things we should not, but it’s also about paying the bills and having insurance.
  • Being faithful with our time is not just about spending it where we should, but also not spending huge amounts of it in fruitless pursuits.
  • Being faithful with her heart is about not doing what would hurt her, and doing what blesses her.

Are you doing both sides of faithful in your marriage?
