I think it would be VERY hard to be married to someone in that situation. I think the only way it is TRULY possible is to have HOPE for the marriage. Without hope, you will go no where.
If this is your situation, I'm very sorry. I'm sure it would be extremely heart-wrenching to be with an unfaithful spouse. Pray a lot and remember God always gives grace when we need it.

A cuckolded wife? The stereotypical marriage of the 40's and 50's where the man would keep a mistress and have affairs or have a regular prostitute? I suppose sthis happenned, but since that was "normal' for much of the secular world, I don't think the cuckold term was applied to the wife.

"condones" is a funny word. "Fully condones" is even funnier. Matthew 19 only says that divorcing for reasons other than adutlery causes some of the parties to be adulterers in certain other situations. So, for one thing, it does not "advocate" divorce for adultery. For another, you would have to judge what Jesus was getting at. Was he supporting what Moses had given the people? Was he expressing old or new limits (or transforming) the view of the union?

I don't think Jesus would think it was wrong for a righteous, faithful man to stay in a marriage with an adulterous woman. You're reading way too into it. It says in the Bible plain as DAY, that divorce is a viable option when it comes to infidelity. I admit I may have made it sound a little too enthusiastic about divorcing, that's not what I intended.

Yeah, maybe I'll do that. I don't honestly think a cuckold is going to step forward and explain why they decided to stay with their cheating wife.

Dude, you really gotta stop talking about [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]

you don't think a male who wife has been unfaitful is going to step forward.

that's how you word it,

Well your wrong, there a million of them on here...
isn't there a subforum on here or something?

Anyway, what do you wanna know?

Why a husband would stay w/ a wife who has cheated...

There is a whole short book of it in the old testament. I forget the guys name, but it begins with a vowel and is a weird name...

Anyhoo, if a man stays with a woman who has cheated it's becuase of one word

Love

That prophet would be Hosea. God commanded Hosea, a faithful, righteous man, to marry a prostitute. Maybe the hooker wife is why he's only a minor prophet.

I don't think God instructed him to get a real harlot, I think it was symbolic of marrying a woman from a city of whoredom.

Maybe other guys could work it out, all I know is that I couldn't, and nor would I want to. Also the Bible fully condones a spouse walking away and divorcing in cases of infidelity.


My friend here's a story a Man/God comes to earth to die a death he didn't deserve. why??? Love Grace Mercy Forgiveness


1 john 2
4 The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him:
6 Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.

Matt 18
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?"
22 Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.


To say that you wouldn't forgive is to say that the Death he died isn't enough to cover that sin

Hosea 1:2 (New International Version)

2 When the LORD began to speak through Hosea, the LORD said to him, "Go, take to yourself an adulterous wife and children of unfaithfulness, because the land is guilty of the vilest adultery in departing from the LORD."

Hosea 3

Hosea's Reconciliation With His Wife

1 The LORD said to me, "Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes." 2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and about a homer and a lethek of barley. 3 Then I told her, "You are to live with me many days; you must not be a prostitute or be intimate with any man, and I will live with you."
