No true marriage needs a wedding white,
with costly airs and flowers bright.
Even gold rings on fingers that intwine,
are only symbolizing hearts and minds.
A man need not be the best at all,
not rich, not handsome, nor neither tall.
But when he stands before a bride,
and by choice is a husband identified.
From that day on, and with out fail
he must be a monogamous, one she male.
Vows voiced one to the other just once,
no second chance, no, none ya dunce.
For adultery committed once, is forever,
there's no going back, not at all, nor never.
Adultery committed, the vow is broken and over,
he can never again vow fidelity moreover.
A person will or will not, the truth is.
Be the failure her's or be it his.
Never again after can anyone ask if he will,
because he's already broken that seal.
Marriage takes two always you can be sure,
What is true for him, is the same for her.

She male?
I guess it sort of describes an ideal husband, but I must argue with it. While adultery is a horrible thing and inexcusable, everyone deserves a second chance and plenty of couples have worked through infedility to become stronger than ever.
Personally, I think if you're someone who would give up so easily on your husband and not desire to work through it, then you never truly loved him to begin with!
Definently thought-provoking (though maybe even depressing!).
