Stopping the EPIDERMIC called Adultery

1. Set Standards before you are confronted with the Temptation: I always advise couples to talk about this together. Don't think that it can never happen to you or that your spouse is a super man. "1 Corinthians 10:12(KJV) -Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." Set clear standards together as a couple and also as an individual. Adultery is first a sin against God before it is an act of unfaithfulness to your spouse therefore even though your spouse will hurt when u fall into it, you are responsible for your own sins. Make a decision on how far your relationship with the opposite sex can go and how far it cannot go. Make sure you define every relationship you have with the opposite sex so that even the other person understands what the two of you are doing.
2. Practice regular "Flee": Avoid every situation that will make you prone to committing adultery either consciously or unconsciously. Running off to an opposite sex each time you have a quarrel with your spouse, staying late night alone with an opposite sex etc. As a married woman, be careful how you take compliments from a man especially when you are not getting enough from your spouse. Just like Joseph did not allow himself to be caught up with his master's wife. He FLED not because he was weak but because he understood that sin is not to be toyed with. "Proverbs 6:27-29(KJV) - Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent."
3. Be Open and accountable to your spouse: Don't keep it to your self when you notice strange behaviours or unnecessary attentions from an opposite sex. When someone makes advances at you, don't feel like you can ward them off on your own. Let your spouse know the details of what you are doing with him or her. This will help keep you in check and trust me, it enhances your intimacy with your spouse. One of the reasons you have a partner is so that you don't have to fight battles alone. "Eccl.4:12(NIV) - Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
4. Be ruthless with temptation: To flirt or condone flirtation is a risky behaviour because I have come to understand that no one is beyond being tempted. There might be cases where you will have to be harsh or even resort to violence in other to loose your self from the cobweb of adultery. Fight it out if need be and shun all manner of flirtations around you. Let your friends and acquaintances know that you have limits and rules even when you are playing.
5. Guard Your Heart: Make a firm decision that you will never succumb to adultery. It all begins with the heart where the decision is made and then it manifests in the actions. Be careful what thoughts you entertain, what you read is very important too and what you listen to. What kind of friends do you keep? Do you keep friends whose values are direct opposite  of yours? "Prov. 4:23 - Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."
