“Males have a tendency to wander a little bit, and what you want to do is make the home so wonderful that he doesn’t want to wander,” Pat Robertson said.
Wow! Mr. Robertson is getting pounded for saying these words. He was responding to a woman whose husband had cheated and she just can't forgive him. Mr. Robertson told her to forgive him, dwell on all his positive qualities, and make a wonderful home.
I agree with him. Many will say that men are not made to be monogamous. They just weren't built that way. So I guess women weren't made to not allow their emotions to control them. We are just made that way!
God commands men to be monogamous. Therefore, they can be faithful to one wife. It makes it a whole lot easier for the man, however, if the wife is a godly help meet to him. The man has to take responsibility for the affair and ask for forgiveness, but then the wife needs to do everything she can to keep her husband happy.
Women do set the tone in the home and most homes have ugly tones. There is strife and tension. If you are always mad at your husband, do you expect him to stay just because he is a christian? Yes, he should but he may not. You begin to obey God, become the wife He calls you to become, and watch how beautiful your marriage can become.
Yes, God made men with a lot of testosterone which makes them highly attracted to the female body. Keep him happy and fulfilled at home. You were created to be his help meet. Spend your life learning how to be the best help meet to this man God gave you. Your husband and children will thank you! NOTHING beats a happy home.
Every wise woman buildeth her house:
but the foolish plucketh it down with her
hands.
Proverbs 14:1
Logging you in...

What troubled me in listening to Mr. Robertson in this interview was his "condoning" tone concerning the sin of infidelity~~you cannot just make the blanket statement that he is a man and basically, "That men are prone to wander" and that it should be the wife's sole responsibility to make that home so happy that he won't want to! A marriage should be 100%, 100% on both parts! That would be like saying that God made women to enjoy caring for and making purchases for her home so it should be her husband's responsibility solely to keep her happy so that she doesn't need to purchase so much~~I for one was offended by his "almost apologetic" tone concerning the husband's sin~~falling back on the old adage, "Well, God made me that way" to me is unacceptable~~not trying to be disagreeable, just did not quite see this the way you did :)

Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

The Bible does not ask wives to break their backs in wifely service, certainly not to avoid an affair. I challenge anyone to prove otherwise.

The notion that it is the wife who is to blame if her husband cheats, is a fallacy perpetrated by society and even our church leaders who are searching for an easy blame. Blaming the victim instead of admitting the truth is much easier. The truth is we do not teach or preach enough about sex and sexuality. When we do we often teach hellfire and brimstone for violators. This results in alienation and lack of tolerance towards the sin and sinner that do not create an environment conducive to learning or learning how to prevent it. Instead we just call the victims sinners and often separate ourselves from them.
The victim of betrayal is hurting. He/she is going through the most painful experience of their life. Telling them it was because they did not create a loving home is wrong. Instead tell the cheater, he should have been honest, if there were problems he/she should have faced them head on or with a professional.
