Thought I would like to revisit

an issue discussed

sometime back.

About the law of Demand and Supply

in human relationships.

In all fairness,

the forces of demand and supply

is probably about

equilibrium

at the time

of marriage.

Years down the road,

wife gets to meet

more dashing, debonaire

and suave men,

in the course of her job

or social circles,

and she begins to wonder

if she deserves better.

And/or

husband begins to experience

real career sucess

and money is plentiful.

Suddenly

there is no shortage

of younger

charming and

sexy women,

thowing themselves

at him,

he begins to feel

too good

for his wife.

Seems to me,

the biggest sin

in a marriage

is COMPARISON.

When one starts to compare

his or her own spouse

with others,

eventually one will come along

to make your spouse

look like a marriage

made in Hell.

Guess that is what

Jesus meant

when he said

when you look at thy neighbour's wife

with lust in your eyes,

you've already committed

adultery.

Because when you look

at your neighbour's wife

with lust,

comparisons were made,

and thus,

the sin.
