As cited in the Catechism of the Catholic Church 2380, adultery refers to marital infidelity as “when two partners, of whom at least one is married to another party, have sexual relations —even transient ones—they commit adultery.” ...

“I am not saying that infidelity or adultery is good. I’m not saying that it is okay. Adultery hurts. Infidelity is painful; it hurts. What I’m saying is to look at it more as a symptom of a much deeper problem in our society today.”For Fr. Loreto Jaque, a Catholic missionary, who believes in Archetypal psychology and provides counseling and expressive therapy, adultery does not just happen by chance.

“I am not saying that infidelity or adultery is good. I’m not saying that it is okay. Adultery hurts. Infidelity is painful, it hurts. What I’m saying is to look at it more as a symptom of a much deeper problem in our society today,” Fr. Jaque said. Instead of delving into the mysterious core of the human heart to search for an answer as to why people become unfaithful to their partners, Fr. Jaque offers another point of view on the matter.

“Oftentimes, I believe that we prepare people for the wedding, but not really for married life. We need to prepare people for love,” he said.“Husbands and wives or boyfriends and girlfriends, they come from different backgrounds. The sacrament of [marriage] is not magic that once gikasal ka, heal na tanang emotional wounds nimo ,” he further said.
