There should be no consequence for this lie. Sex is unimportant. Thou shalt not commit adultery. It was important enough to God that He included it as one of the ten commandments. President Clinton will not permit his health records to be made public.
Sex is only right within marriage, it is a sacred thing.
God Himself likens it to the Love that Christ has for the church. Man can claim that lies are nothing to be concerned about, that everybody does it so it is not important. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour. A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
