Ahh... those seemingly harmless text messages that send quivers of excitement to your otherwise uneventful life... the feeling of anticipation of receiving and answering them... the sense of wonder of what possibly lies in the future for the two of you... Stop yourself in time to remember that you are very much married and sending those messages that are increasingly becoming intimate by the day is improper and borders on the commission on the actual act of infidelity. You might just be "sexting" your way to infidelity.
Technology has afforded us a way of communicating even our most intimate thoughts with other people without having to be physically close to each other. Many have used technology to test the waters so to speak, to determine if there is any chance that a romantic initiative will have any chance of being reciprocated. An aggressive proposition that merits an equally aggressive response encourages deepening of relationships even at the expense of existing relationships held by the participants.
Casual texting eventually becomes sexting when seemingly innocent innuendos are replaced by messages heavily infused with sexual intonation. The process serves as a prelude to full-blown infidelity characterized by actual sexual relations that may or may not be accompanied by emotional commitment. This is a classic case of "trying to have fun" gone too far.
Most married couples bored with their relationships seek entertainment with gadgets and social platforms without necessarily having the intent to cheat. The problem with engaging in such social interaction during a fragile stage of the relationship is the possible entrapment of the vulnerable in a situation which they may not be able to handle. The time spent on sexting or other forms of creative communication with members of the opposite sex is best used in rediscovering the joys of marriage.
