1. It breaks the most intimate of all human relationships (Gen. 2:24, 25).
As a loving couple, both hug/kiss/naked to enhance their love with each other. The couple felt no SHAME in doing so cause there is LOVE. And the LOVE here is only permitted to BOTH male and female as a COUPLE, not involving others!
2. It causes one to lose faith and trust in the other (Mal. 2:14)
When a relationship breaks down, it causes an effect to society. It breaks people's TRUST & BELIEF to other party.
3. It produces hurt, anger, bitterness and hatred. (cf. Gen. 39:19)
These are against the nature of healthy life. Life should be full of happiness and love. Those that cause hurt, anger, bitterness and hatred are not contributing to healthy living. Think about it!
4. Vows and words are no longer taken seriously. (Mt. 5:33-37; cf. Heb. 6:13,14)
What's the meaning of life when people do not believe one another words? It's like living life without a purpose. Life is meaningful when we honour our words, and people believe us in doing so!
Consequences of such an action:
1. Every move or plan of the spouse/gf/bf is under suspect because trust is lost
2. Both the feeling and the mind are now dramatically affected.
3. Children suffer enormously and unjustly.
Purpose of such a commandment
1. The gf & bf/marriage relationship must be treated with the highest regard (Heb. 13:4)
2. Friends/children/generation to come shall grow up with trust and respect and they will also take such a relationship in future seriously themselves.
3. That the sins of the parents are not passed on to their childen (Ex. 20:5)
4. Adultery is not just only commited in the physical act but it can also be in the mind and heart as well (Mt. 5: 27,28)
"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart (Mt. 5:27,28)
