One thing which has helped me from having a "wandering eye" when it comes to women is the realization that God has a model, which he wants for all of us: a husband, a wife, and children-- what one might call a family. He wants everyone to be a mother or a father or a brother or a sister, a son or a daughter-- to be a part of a family. Then, all of the families interconnect to form the larger body; imagine a honeycomb, with all of the different compartments joined together.

If I were to sin with another woman, not only am I corrupting my honeycomb cell, but I'm corrupting hers as well. I'm robbing both of us of our ability to have God's model. But it's worse than that: the dropped pebble has ripple effects outward, as the sin sets a bad example for others, causes children to be deprived of their proper parenting which will cause them issues, and myriad other problems.

I think this honeycomb metaphor can be applied to sin more broadly too. The Lord has a moral code He wants us to follow. Any time we deviate from that code-- i.e., we sin-- we are introducing corruption into the larger honeycomb lattice, weakening its walls and structural integrity.

So when I see a pretty lady these days, rather than experience desire I think to myself, "I hope she finds a wonderful man with which to raise children and create a family, if she doesn't have one already."
