SYMC Definition of Infidelity
Infidelity is the breaking of any one or more of the
covenants of marriage between the partners of the marriage.
These covenants bind the partners to standards of behavior
which protect and nurture the partners within the marriage and therefore the
marriage itself.
Any breaking of the covenants of the marriage may be
considered an unfaithful act which is harmful and even destructive to the
entity of marriage.
We must, therefore, speak to infidelity on a multitude of
levels: sexual, emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual.
Because of the deep connections created and forged by
intimate emotional and physical/sexual intercourse we recognize and acknowledge
this form of infidelity as the most destructive to the marital bond and
therefore to society as a whole.
