I couldn't find any threads on this...if anyone knows of one, please direct me!
Anyway, I have a question about something. Is it just actual sexual intercourse alone that is considered the adultery that breaks the marriage bond which allows for divorce(as stated in the Bible)?
Ok, let's say you have a married couple....and one of the spouses had some sort of extramariatal affair that included intimate/sexual acts (in addition to becoming close emotionally aka not just physically), but NOT actual intercourse. Is this considered having broken the marriage bond?
And lets say that the other spouse knew about it (after the fact, I guess)....and also knew that actual intercourse didn't take place....is this enough for this spouse to divorce the other?
Hope I'm making sense...sorry to get so technical, but I wondered about this from a biblical standpoint.
