Love Doesn't Require Perfection

After someone's infidelities were revealed, they simply said, "they weren't perfect, they were human." I've been reflecting on this. Fidelity does not require perfection, it involves character. Fidelity to another is not some super human effort, it takes self control. Fidelity to another human being may take some self discipline, but please, don't tell us you're not perfect. We know that. We also, regardless of your thoughts, comprehend that you are human. We may have expected more from you. We may have taken you at your word, that you would be faithful. Isn't that what you professed before that crowd at the wedding? When did infidelity become an expression of humanity instead of a sign of sin? Transgression means a violation of a law or a sin. So, please let's still call infidelity what it is a transgression - a falling away - not from perfection, but from our word/oath and another person (also a human being), and God.
