“Women in decent deportment and dress adorn themselves with modesty and discretion.”
1 Timothy 2:9 JND
“Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life.”
Proverbs 4:2323Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. (Proverbs 4:23)
“Let thine eyes look right on,
and let thine eyelids
look straight before thee.”
Proverbs 4:2525Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. (Proverbs 4:25)
“Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.  ...  
let them be only thine own,
and not strangers’ with thee.”
Proverbs 5:15,1715Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. (Proverbs 5:15)
17Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee. (Proverbs 5:17)
A chaste wife wears revealing clothing only in her bedroom with her husband and does not act seductively around other men. There are treasures and pleasures a husband and wife find in each other that are for their eyes alone. Sisters, your beauty is from God; don’t flaunt it before other men.
God also does not want us to look for admiration or sympathy from another man besides our own husband. Perhaps you feel you don’t get the love you need. That is the very time you should be keeping your heart with all diligence. Perhaps if you gave more respect and admiration to your husband you would receive more love in return. Perhaps God wants you to lean more on Him, seeking His “Well done.” Perhaps God is teaching you both lessons. At any rate, it is exceedingly dangerous to make an emotional connection with another man when you feel deprived in your own marriage. “Keep thy heart more than anything that is guarded” (Prov. 4:2323Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. (Proverbs 4:23) JND), and stay far from anything that would jeopardize your own marriage and perhaps someone else’s as well.
