When it comes to your marriage, what you need to tolerate and what can not tolerate change. Although pop culture preaches ‘tolerance’, the reality is that it is very intolerant of many things. One of the things that it is intolerant of are marriages where the husband and wife are devoted and committed to each other. Instead, they want you to tolerate every kind of sexual deviation and pleasure seeking that can be imagined, all in the name of tolerance. Any kind of unnatural coupling is now promoted as something you should tolerate, except a one-man, one-woman committed relationship.
When it comes to your marriage, there are things that you should not tolerate. Those things include behaviors, attitudes and actions that weaken your marriage. This may come in the form of weakening your commitment, your devotion, or your fidelity. Tolerance of perversion will weaken your marriage. You may think that you are being progressive or open-minded, yet your ‘open-mindedness’ may be letting in the very destruction of your relationship.
Being accepting and tolerant sounds nice, yet marriage is a special relationship. There has to be the strong commitment to each other and to doing right in order for it to work. There can be tolerance of many faults of your spouse or their tolerance of you, yet when it comes to tolerating things that are actually ‘evil’ in terms of the damage they will do to your marriage relationship, you need to be intolerant. Other may accuse you of being hypocritical. Accept such criticism as a badge of honor. When it comes to your marriage, you want the best. You want commitment, you want a special relationship where many things will not be tolerated, including ‘infidelity’. There is no room for tolerating ‘infidelity’ or ‘extra lovers’ if you want your marriage to remain healthy.
