"I made a covenant with my eyes, How then should I look lustfully at a young woman?" (Job 31:1)
You have heard it said, "you can look, but don't touch", or "window shopping is O.K." Well Jesus says, "but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart."(Matt 5:28)
You have made a covenant just as Job did, you are not to gaze at anyone but your wife. Ever. For no reason. Never. Get my point? There are no exceptions, it is adultery. In the eyes of God, you have had an affair with another woman, you are no longer a faithful husband. And to take it one step farther, if the person you have gazed upon is under 18, according to Jesus' logic, you are a child molester as well as an adulterer. Kinda' harsh, but it's Gods word, and I think men need to hear it from time to time. You owe it to your wife to be faithful to her in all ways. Trust is the foundation on which relationships are built, and if you are untrustworthy, then no one will follow you. Kinda' makes it hard for you to lead if no one follows, huh?
Your wife is a beautiful angel that God has handpicked for you to love and cherish, devote your lusts and sexual desires towards her and her alone. Build your physical bond into a fortress that cannot be broken by images of other women. With this fortress built, not only will you sexual relationship be greatly enhanced, but the emotional, and spiritual bond will become unbreakable. And your days will be blessed.

Avoiding these temptations can be very difficult. But it can be done. Simply looking away is a good start, but you also must find your trouble areas and avoid or eliminate them. If your a smoker trying to quit, the 1st thing you do is get rid of all cigarettes in your home. No brainer, huh? Alcoholics get rid of the liquor, and if your bout is with porn, you must get rid of those temptations as well. Nobody wants to think about getting rid of T.V., or internet, but for a closer walk with God, and a beautiful marriage, you do what needs done.
