Adultery:
Throughout my research on adultery I have realized how much it can destroy a marriage. It is a sign of complete infidelity. By looking at how adultery is punished and looked at throughout history we see how serious of an act adultery is.

Not only are you disrespecting you spouse, you are disrespecting the 6th commandment and God. We see how serious of an offense adultery is in our text and also in Leviticus (20:10).
