The Bible says to flee from temptation....not amble away. Many guilty partners involved in adultery have not put the carnal nature to death and are not walking in the Holy Spirit. When we lose our closeness to God satan will set them up. Adultery/divorce, IMHO is the greatest weapon in satan's arsenal. The person then comes into bondage and it is very difficult to them to break out of it/give up their sins. Adultery effects the other spouse and children, hence my belief that it is the most destructive attack on Christian families.
The Bible clearly warns us what we let into our heart via our eyes. How many professed Christians today turn the channel over or switch the TV off when lurid sexual scenes are shown. We are not meant to be of this world. We are not meant to participate in what non believers do. We are to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
The Bible frequently mentions adultery, sexual immorality. I believe the churches today do not preach the reminders/warnings. We see a candy coated gospel when a fire and brimstone sermon should be preached. The churches are cold to lukewarm. Churches should be bringing warnings and convictions to the sheep.
My wife still refuses to confess and repent of her sexual immorality. I am to the point where I say to Him I don't know whether the marriage is worth saving with her attitude. I would rather separate than live a married life which is a lie!
You see she loves her sins more than our marriage and more than God.
May God richly bless you all for your prayers, words of wisdom and comfort.

He did leave and now is engaged to the woman he left me for. So much unavoidable pain if people would just take their vows of Better and Worse seriously...just because the grass appears greener, it still has to be mowed...I think God was pretty serious or there would not be a commandment and numerous chapters in the Bible warning against it and condemning it! I will continue to pray for this situation and all those who have posted the hurtful realities of facing divorce and infidelity. Funny to me how much can change in a marriage from the hopeful wedding day to the day one spouse turns and breaks the covenant between themselves and God...I just don't get it.
