So what is your point? I will say this. When this happens that christain's do this they and there children go through alot. It is not so when they ask forgiveness and everything is ukie dory the forgiveness is given and they swallow their pride and clean up the mess hopefully. And I will say it is not a good example for other's. Lust and unhappiness. That ole saying it is not greener on the other side. Some christains marry into abuse,some do it out of lust and some or blind and think they know about God and some find about just what it means that you are only human and step away from God's . Because you are a christain does not mean you will not fall, but when you fall get back up and by grace of God. Just as if you was not a Christain,such as some other belief you find you get a little dirt on you as you go.
