Loyalty is a key characteristic in any relationship. I feel like this characteristic can come
naturally to some but might be weaker in others. There are things we are loyal to and in my
opinion, this loyalty increases with age and maturity. So the older we get the better we are at
sticking to what we care for? Is it that easy?
I wish I could say yes but then we would all be sitting around waiting
for the day to come when we were 75 an d able to have a wonderful, fulfilling
relationship. Though maturity affects
our loyalty in some ways, the main forces behind our loyalty are our own
personal thoughts and actions.

I have seen a quote on the internet many times. I do not know the author but I think the
quote is amazing. It says, “Watch your
thoughts for they will become your words. Watch your words for they become your
actions. Watch your actions for they
become your habits. Watch your habits
for they become your character. And
watch your character for it becomes your destiny.” Our thoughts on loyalty are
what determine our actions on loyalty and so forth. We must be truly dedicated to our
relationships especially in marriage.

Kenneth W. Mattison wrote a talk about fidelity and gave a
great example of a couple who struggled with this issue. He gives a perfect example of how these kind
of problems start so simply that it is hard to notice at first. Simple friendships can turn into infidelity
simply by spending more time and energy on the friendship than on your
marriage. It takes a constant effort in
the marriage to avoid infidelity. It has
to start slowly with your thoughts and you will be able to conquer your
temptations and desires and have a happy, long marriage.
