Prayer is more effective than positive thinking in preventing infidelity, according to a study reported in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. The study by Frank Fincham at Florida State University showed that those who were asked to pray for their partners lowered their "infidelity ratings" from 3.5 to 2.4. Those instructed to think positively of their partners actually went up a little from 3.5 to 3.9.
"Dr. Fincham suspects that the act of praying about a romantic partner leads people to view their relationships as something sacred and not to be damaged," reported The Economist (Aug. 28, 2010, p. 71).
Understanding God’s view of the sanctity of marriage and involving Him in our marriages is even more powerful in preventing cheating and promoting the true intimacy God intended (Matthew 19:4-6).
