Jesus said to his disciples: “You have heard that it
was said, You shall not commit adultery. But I say to you, everyone who looks
at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If
your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better
for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into
Gehenna. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it
away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole
body go into Gehenna.
“It was also said, Whoever divorces his wife must
give her a bill of divorce. But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless
the marriage is unlawful) causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a
divorced woman commits adultery.”

A husband without any qualms told his wife that it’s
all over for them, that they can now go on their separate lives. This is the
culture nowadays; the sacredness of marriage is not anymore being respected by
married couples. Adultery and divorce is always a tempting easy way out for
them.
Why do these two evil instruments exist? For the
simple reason that we don’t value our faith in Jesus anymore. Yes, we worship
Jesus at church but we purposely imprison Jesus inside the four walls of the
church.
We don’t bring Jesus with us and we don’t allow Him
to live with us. If we live the teachings of Jesus we would be afraid to even
think of these two evil instruments. Much less commit and plunge our very
selves into it.
But all is not lost yet, there is still hope and He
is no other than Jesus. Let us bring Jesus with us, let us live His teachings
and let us make Him our armor. So that we can easily protect ourselves from the
scheming of the devil who always seeks to destroy the sanctity of the Marriage
Covenant. - Marino J. Dasmarinas
