Why Are So Many People Involved in Adulterous Relationships in Today’s Times?
Last night on the Brother Marcus Internet radio show, there was a panel discussion on this topic. The panel included: Dr. Harry R. Davidson, Author of two books which include, "God Save America: An Assault on Democracy, Religion and Reason;" "Somebody's Trying to Kill You: The Psychodynamics of White Racism and Black Pathology", Dr. Jesse Hargrove, Chair, Division of Education for Philander Smith College, Mercedes Terzol, author of the book, "999 Ways to Say No to a No Good Man", and Reverend Barbara Dixon, author of, "Seven Principles for Purposeful Living," “Opening to God as Source,” and “Who Told You?”
We talked about, not only the problem, but we shared some solutions! Dr. Davidson gave a great overview of the root of the problem, Sister Mercedes Terzol, wise beyond her years, brought home the urgency of the need to reach a higher level of relationship, and Dr. Hargrove talked about the underdeveloped character of some African Americans. In general we agreed that although many of the contributing factors where not our ‘fault’, it is our responsibility to change and grow. I am giving away one of my tools for clarifying values, The Four Cornerstones of Wealth, as a gift to listeners. It will be available for 1 week as a download. My web site is www.mindfulresolutions.net.
One of the things that we agreed upon was the media’s involvement in the erosion of our values. We all agreed that we need to control the information and ideas that come into our minds. The Brother Marcus Show is what we need more of, responsible media. You can tune in to Brother Marcus’ show every Sunday night at 8:00 pm (EST). I honor him for his willingness to acknowledge the problems in our community; we cannot fix what we don’t acknowledge. Yes, we talked about the problem, but we also talked about solutions. You can hear the discussion. This was one heck of a show, so tune in! Go to www.blogtalkradio.com/brothermarcusshow, listen, and weigh-in. Let us know what ideas you have for solutions to this problem.

Ms. Barbara, I think it's because not many people who get married recognize marriage as covenant. It's not recognized as a God-ordained, lifetime, binding, solemn relationship.
Among other things, your spouse is your best friend, your financial partner, your "ride or die" chic(k) or due, your "homey, lover, friend"... all of that and then some.
The a spiritual depth that should exist between a man and a woman before they even enter into covenant that these days, just ISN'T. You got people marrying for money, looks, status, prestige, appearances, etc. Motives for marriage are not really honorable so whereas it's a legally binding contract (worldy), it is not a God-ordained covenant, and therefore, not taken all that seriously.
Just some food for thought...
Blessings...
