Is the wife in anyway responsible for her husband's faithfulness within their marriage? That's the ultimate question as it pertains to the title of this post.
You've likely heard husbands comfortably saddle wives with the responsibility of keeping their libidos satiated / tamed. Some of these men are pastors who've boldly made those claims from the pulpit.
Again, Is she responsible in this regard as the wife of her husband?
-------------------------
This is about as cut-&-dry an issue (for some men) as making weekly date nights a priority for married couples, or husbands bringing their wives flowers once a week.
And we men, overall, like cut-&-dry. It simplifies by shirking the responsibility solely onto someone else.
A recent "experiental" video that was presented (as our topical jumping off point) within the virtual Samson Society meeting I regularly attend featured Mr. Robbie Harvey (YouTube) talking about serendipitously "depositing love / goodness" into his wife (daily) and receiving two-fold love / goodness in return. Every time. Now that's manly cut-&-dryness. It's reliable and easy to understand whilst being quite covertly manipulative / passive aggressive.
-------------------------
If you were to look at marriage as a kaleidoscope relationship that's rotating (& thereby transforming) - to some degree - daily (if not hourly) versus a static, formulaic program, I'm convinced that it not only will be seen much more accurately but appreciated / extolled far more relative to its ever-changing, complex beauty.
As such, blanket active / reactive statements regarding marriage would immediately be pushed aside as inappropriate / unfair / stupid.
-------------------------
I'm convinced that Satan lures husbands into this over-simplified fray by exploiting their hardwiring as problem solvers who may very well be biased towards performance (as many men are).
If that's you, be wary of this sort of dumbass thinking towards marriage. It's dangerous, ineffective, and a huge waste of time. Unless you're married to a robot woman.
