Cheating comes from the inside out, not vice-versa.

Well, it's not quite that simple. Studies have shown impulses are easier to control if you aren't in situations to have to control them. One I recall reading was 2 people were trying to diet (or had a bet, or some such).

One had a plate of cookies next to them. The other didn't. Who do you think slipped up and ate a cookie?

It takes a combination of motive and opporunity for an action to occur.

Yes, but one is dead without the other. If you don't have the motive, the opportunities are a non-issue.

Do you love your wife and are you truly committed to her? Are you sure you know what that means, for both of you?

If not, again, the main problem has nothing to do with that outside cookie. And you will see a million cookies over your lifetime. If you don't resolve your own problems and understanding to some kind of measured adult understanding, you will invest entirely too much drama in cookies.
