How can I have a fidelity marriage?

This week in class we talked about a sensitive subject to many people, but very important to a lasting marriage. We talked about fidelity and the ways we can keep this in our marriage. What is fidelity? One definition I found it said it is faithfulness to a person, cause, or belief, demonstrated by continuing loyalty and support.Who wouldn't want this is a marriage? One thing I got out of class about fidelity is we need to be aware of who were with and how much time we spend with people. I feel as though things start out innocent and then leads to something else. Usually people say, "It wasn't suppose to go that far" or "We started as just friends". To help this from not happening we can be open with our spouse. Don't hide things from our spouse. If you are doing this, then something is not right. One thing my husband told me if he ever had to do a project or homework with a girl he would always have me come with him. This made me feel confident in our relationship. He wants to make sure I would never think anything is happening and nothing would happen. Never be alone with a person of the opposite sex. This can just lead to something else. Make sure you always bring your spouse with you. Lastly, talk to your husband about things you can do together to protect fidelity in your relationship. This will be different for everyone, but it can help in many ways. Ezra Taft Benson said, "Fidelity to one’s marriage vows is absolutely essential for love, trust, and peace. Adultery is unequivocally condemned by the Lord. Husbands and wives who love each other will find that love and loyalty are reciprocated. This love will provide a nurturing atmosphere for the emotional growth of children. Family life should be a time of happiness and joy that children can look back on with fond memories and associations” If we have Christ the center of our lives, we will be able to have love and trust in our marriage.
