Proverbs 5: adulterous singles

"For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword." Proverbs 5:3-4

Overall, Proverbs 5 is a warning against adultery and temptation. How does it apply to a single person? (A single person is unmarried) Isaiah 54:5 says that we should be married to Christ first. Whatever tempts us and take us away from spending time with Christ can be compared to the "adulterous woman;" in the beginning everything looks appealing but ends up being the complete opposite. Just like an earthly relationship, one with Christ requires quality time and commitment. What's the status of your "marriage"?
