Proverbs 6:25 Do not desire her beauty in your heart,
and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;
26 for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread,
but a married woman hunts down a precious life.
27 Can a man carry fire next to his chest
and his clothes not be burned?
28 Or can one walk on hot coals
and his feet not be scorched?
29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife;
none who touches her will go unpunished.
Proverbs is full of practical wisdom for daily life, including relationship advice. These principles come from the heart of an all-wise God, who gives not only commands, but warnings against breaking those commands. Such is the case of relationships. It begins with a glance that turns to a stare, then goes deeper into the mind and heart. It is ensnaring. As the old saying goes: "It is playing with fire." Don't go there. You'll only get burned. God has made a safe haven for intimacy between husband and wife. Anywhere else and people get hurt.
