Why Do Christian Women Wear Skirts?

The point of reference for this issue, also up for debate among Christians, is Deuteronomy 22:5: "A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this." While some Christian traditions teach that women should not wear pants/trousers, others insist that the Bible reference was to a pagan practice. The question is, according to one source, is the issue of modesty.

Why Do Christian Women Cheat?

While there don't appear to be any clear cut answers to this question, some suggestions include a woman having unrealistic expectations of her husband, ignorance and immaturity when dealing with conflicts and challenges, and a husband failing to help keep the romance alive in marriage.
