Basic Training For Christians 18

Exodus 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

In our present society it seems that many people feel that this one is outdated.  It is not a suggestion, it is a commandment.  We find people living together before marriage, having multiple partners through their single life and completely disregarding God's laws pertaining to fidelity and chastity.

God created one man and then made him a wife from his rib.  I believe this is a lesson to us to let us know that a man's wife is a part of him and I also believe if God had intended for man to have more than one wife he would have made more than one for Him.

In our society of infidelity it is important for young people to know that God has a plan.  One man and one woman for all their lives.  This seems almost impossible with the bombardment of temptation from the media but when you follow the proper steps it is simplified.  God has someone special for each person.  Men and Women should spend much time in prayer seeking the mate that God has for them. Being faithful is much easier when you are with the person that God intends you to be with.
