While there are certain specific actions that, with God's grace, men are able to avoid, and while it is certainly appropriate to expect a certain standard of behavior from one's future spouse, it is important to keep in mind that we are all sinners regardless, breaking every commandment daily. I do not believe there is post-pubescent male on earth who has never lusted, and Christ's words tell us that such a sin is adultery nonetheless.
