To covet means to have an inordinate or wrongful desire. To covet your neighbor's wife is to want her when you cannot have her for yourself. Jesus equated such lust in the heart as being equally guilty of the sin of adultery. In other words, your relationship with your own wife or lover is not chaste. If you are single such lust means you are not content with your situation. Coveting can lead to infidelity. Throughout The Bible, it is stressed that God gives us what we need. So to covet what others have is to be unhappy with God's provision!
