✦ MADE SIMPLE
You're asking 'Why though?' Here's why — God was right there watching when you made promises to your wife, the one you married when you were young. You've been totally unfaithful to her, but she's still your partner, the one you made a covenant with.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God sees how you treat the person you promised to love forever.
