Would the Church have allowed a separation and possible civil divorce (to deal with financial and other obligations)--yes. Do I think that a divorce would have caused many problems for their young children without a dad in their house (one more child woulld be on the way)--yes. Do I think the lady may have denied her husband his privileges for a time--perhaps. In the end, did the lady gain more by staying with her husband==absolutely yes! <BR/><BR/>Husbands can and do change when they finally realize the tremendous damage they have done with their infidelity. Just like in recidivism of criminals, age helps them confront their problems. Wouldn't it be terrible if the husband had an affair in mid-life, but the wife never forgave him and was long gone when he finally began to live a good life? <BR/><BR/>Please re-read the story of Mr and Mrs. C, both of whom attended daily Mass together in their final years.Dust I Amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17214613587456861583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30096810.post-1155352252421850932006-08-11T22:10:00.000-05:002006-08-11T22:10:00.000-05:00I understand your point but I don't agree with sta...I understand your point but I don't agree with staying married to a man who is constantly unfaithful. What about AIDS or any of the other venereal diseases you are exposed to, like HPV which can result in cervical cancer. Furthermore, how can your children grow up with an understand of the exclusive nature of marriage? What possible incentive will the sons of the marriage have for fidelity or the daughters for requiring it?M.
