Situation: Mark was a wealthy middle-aged professional, not as good-looking as he thought, but decent looking. He had a series of affairs with lovely young women. He was the rare man who made no attempt at hiding his dating. His wife knew of his affairs but was determined to keep the family together, at least until their children grew up.
His last affair was with Alexandria. She and Mark were having the trip of a lifetime, in Hawaii. On the third day, they were involved in a multiple car wreck. Mark died instantly! Alexandria was hurt badly but survived.
Lessons learned: I have personally seen many professional men, both those who are wealthy and those who pretend they're 'loaded,' at various restaurants, etc. Most try to hide their cheating, but not all. I'm sure that women cheat also. How hurtful is it when their spouses find out - and most of them do. Even worse is when everyone in town or in the neighborhood knows about it and the children are taunted. Do these cheaters have no heart? No soul? And what about the young women? It takes TWO to cheat! A young woman is also know as a 'loose woman' or worse names. Is that what you want?
And what happens when you're caught in the act? From newspaper stories, you know that the injured party is rarely forgiving and may be violent! Is it worth it?
Outcome: Mark's wife had a funeral for him at her church. It was a sad day for the family. Several years later, Mark's wife married a really nice gentleman. Now her children are grown and never mention 'daddy.' I called Mark "The KING of Cheaters" because he was called to account for his life suddenly, without warning. It's something that could happen to any of us. Are we ready?
