"Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; He who does so destroys his own soul. Wounds and dishonor he will get, And his reproach will not be wiped away. For jealousy is a husband’s fury; Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. He will accept no recompense, Nor will he be appeased though you give many gifts." (Proverbs 6:32-35 NKJV)
He shows a grim contrast to stealing when a man touches another man's wife. There is no restitution possible. He will face the wrath of a jealous husband carrying a wounded self-esteem. Adultery is a cruel crime against the institution of marriage. Love for each other is the most precious gift a man and woman have on this earth, except for the gift of His love for us. There is something very special about a man and his wife being one. To invade on this privacy of a man and his wife is without excuse. Only a nincompoop would do such a thing at the expense of his life and soul.
With that stressed, God reaffirms the seriousness of His command when He declared - "But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” (Mark 10:6-9 NKJV)
