My husband blames me for his sexual sin. Is he right? Do I have some part in this?
No. The Bible identifies the causes of sexual sin in Matthew 5:28, 15:19 and James 1:14:
 |
"But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman
to lust after her |
|
"For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,
adulteries, |
|
"But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed." (James 1:14) |
The Bible puts the focus of sexual sin in a man's heart. There may be sins in a wife's relationship with her husband that she needs to bring before the Lord in repentance, but these in no way justify, excuse or explain a husband's sexual sin.
