Not only are leaders like this faithless to the vows to their spouses, but also to the people they lead.<br /><br />Could I invite you to read a couple of artices I poste about this on one of my blogs? I have Family Fountain which has short articles and Bible Fountain which has longer ones. Under the label marriage on Bible Fountain are the two articles: "The Heart of a Godly Man Toward his Wife" and "May Your Fountain be Blessed." One of them is here: http://warrenbaldwinbiblefountain.blogspot.com/2009/03/heart-of-godly-man-toward-his-wife.html. Anyway, if you get to look, thanks. I enjoyed your blog.

If every woman who have a case of marital infidelity with her husband will just throw the towel and file for divorce or annulment, then marriage will definitely be a cheap piece of brittle paper. Men are by nature polygamous. Remember the days when kings have harems and Solomon having 200 wives and a thousand concubines. Society, especially in he Philippines and Asia, accepts the realities of philandering husbands but never an unfaithful wife. With most men, it is just the heat or some temporary obsession but when they come to their senses, they go back to their legal wife. Lani Mercado survived the philandering days of her husband, so did Sandy Andolong. Some men are just so obsessed with their macho image that they cheat on their wives and consider their activities as just temporary flings. Having another house with another woman is entirely different for there is now another commitment by the philandering husband. That is when a wife should draw the line. Thanks for your post. God bless you always.Mel Avila Alarillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166954063114607598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438022669660859966.post-54154945218145061282009-05-14T09:51:00.000-07:002009-05-14T09:51:00.000-07:00Divorce can be salvation for a dead marriage. We ...Divorce can be salvation for a dead marriage. We should remember that a marriage contract is actually a civil contract; God has nothing to do with it. Old church rules were established to protect women, but these rules were used against them to imprison them, to bind them in oppressive, abusive relationships forever, with death the only escape. That death was often found to be preferable is shameful to ALL civilizations. Religions work in favor of MEN, around the World, nearly without exception. Let's modernize marriage and remove the stigma from divorce.Gruggershttp://www.dougsmissoulablog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438022669660859966.post-25019437202938943272009-05-14T07:38:00.000-07:002009-05-14T07:38:00.000-07:00Marriage is holy and vows made during the marriage...Marriage is holy and vows made during the marriage must not be broken.That's why I am really against divorce and annulment.CPA Board Examhttp://thirdworldgeek.com/may-2009-cpa-board-exam-results/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438022669660859966.post-14222514595928812132009-05-13T15:15:00.000-07:002009-05-13T15:15:00.000-07:00I didn't see the interview but my heart does go ou...I didn't see the interview but my heart does go out to Elizabeth Edwards. Cheating ruins the trust in a marriage. And it can be hard to be rebuilt. However, I've also known couples who have been able to work at their marriage after a situation like this. However, it takes time and work on both partners. <br /><br />As you said, most times it's the husband but occasionally it's the wife. Marriage can be hard at times. Often people think because they don't always feel IN LOVE that it's time to move on. But I disagree. Over time there will always be some moments of not feeling that way. And yet you can work at creating fun and romantic times together.<br /><br />Ideally, I am against divorce but in certain situations I have to say that it might be for the best, particularly if there is no change. No one should have to put up with any verbal or physical abuse for sure. And cheating is wrong.Debbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.com
