The Bible allows divorce, if a spouse has opted out by withholding affection from the other spouse.

Your response makes it seem to me that you might be a woman because you believe that a man who does not get affection at home does not give him a reason to respond to a woman who does give him affection, when he’s starving for it.

It’s easy to say that spouses should be committed to each other, but try saying that when your spouse has opted out of the marriage for years on end.

I’m a man, and I said nothing about divorce. The article is about cheating.

While I am Catholic, and do not believe in divorce, generally, I have far less of an issue with someone who gets a divorce because they want to pursue a different love interest versus someone who has an affair.

This guy is just another phony “family values” hypocrite, like so many Republican politicians.

I don't think that's correct. It only allows divorce in the case of unfaithfulness...that is adultery.

I wonder if your response would be the same if the woman is not getting any “affirmation.”
