About this audiobook
We live in a time when marital fidelity is under assault. Driven by the forces of relativism, our society assaults sexual fidelity on numerous fronts. The push for homosexual marriages, for example, come at the end of the fall into perversion, not the beginning. Faithless husbands began the fall long ago, and our culture, with all its washed-out self-help books, fails to address the real problem - sin.
Addressed to men, Fidelity hits hard, using clear language, focusing on specific sins with specific solutions: adultery, divorce, polygamy, celibacy, pornography, and more. But in the end, the antidote to all sexual temptation is simple - the godly honoring of the marriage bed: "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." (Heb. 13.4)

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very relevant! Excellent! The most biblical and balanced view I’ve read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Douglas has done an awesome job and describing the various types of sexual sins spoken of in the Bible. I recommend all couples should read this book, although I would say that the husband should read it first and then give it to his wife as a read it together. I would also recommend if you are thinking of discussing these type of issues with your son this is definitely an ideal book to read
