In most states, you can get out of a 25-year marriage easier than you can get out of a contract to buy a car, put a new roof on your house, etc., etc. (Kids are usually grown and gone by then; when they're minors, they put a "crimp" in the divorce proceedings & hold up the inevitable process by a few months...
)
The whole thing makes me sick.
"Go and sin no more," said Jesus to the woman caught "in the act." Adultery is forgiveable - but one must bear the reasonable consequences. David did: God made Him bear them. Who bears the consequences anymore, except in states where the property settlement is going to be more favorable to the non-adulterer?
Jesus did, however, expect the woman literally to abstain from adultery for the rest of her life...
