Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you.
    Rejoice in the wife of your youth.

Proverbs 5:18, NLT

Cheaters are so quick to forget or devalue what you bring to the marriage.

In the discarding phase, they might treat you as worthless. Some might go as far as to claim you bring and brought nothing to the marriage other than being a drag on them.

Then you stop helping them.

They quickly realize that you DID bring something to the marriage! The help they just counted upon is no longer there.

Don’t get me wrong–cheaters still feel entitled to this help–but we–faithful spouses–don’t have to give it them anymore.

They wanted to live like they were single and did not value you. So, let them experience the natural consequences of living without you.

No freshly cooked meals.

No help with moving heavy objects.

No household management beyond what makes it work for you.

Cheaters will soon learn that cheating comes with adulting consequences. Sadly, they will learn this a little late.
