It sounds like it ended the marriage, and if it did, I'm of the opinion that is usually a punishment in and of itself. Besides the fact that the adulterer will always be known as an adulterer to those who know about it.I agree their should be accountability but surely this is not the same as a criminal act ( my ex committed adultery for 16years of a 27year old marriage ) I do happen to know that both of us were at fault within our marriage and that was something I had to come to terms with, it doesn’t excuse the adultery, but he wasn’t a criminal in my eyes. He faced the consequences of his decisions, as we all do when we choose to do things wrong. He never really sort my forgiveness , he died two years ago. However I was able to forgive him long before that and we remained friends. Rita
But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself.
Blows and disgrace are his lot, and his shame will never be wiped away.
Proverbs 6:32-33
But above all, thank God for his forgiveness. For even the most hurtful of adulterers is not beyond the comfort of God's forgiveness. And what joy it must bring to the person who is the conduit of that forgiveness. Blows and disgrace are his lot, and his shame will never be wiped away.
Proverbs 6:32-33
