I am definitely a Christian in favor of a COMMITTED marriage. But the Clintons are NOT committed to their marriage. Bill has REPEATEDLY broken his vows. I know many many women who have stayed in a relationship after infidelity, but the person(s) who broke the trust WORKED TO IMPROVE THE MARRIAGE and were WILLING TO CHANGE and did not break their vows again and again and again.

What I meant by 'giving women a bad name' is that many people look up to Bill and Hillary and seeing this happen, think it's OK to have a 'marriage' like they do. But it's not! I would not want my daughter to stay in a relationship where there is repeated infidelity. Christ didn't want that either; His idea of marriage is one man and one woman, faithful to each other, forever.

Thanks to all for their comments!

"Sorry, but I disagree...marriages are "torn asunder" when either of the spouses refuses to forsake all others, IMHO. A woman who stays nominally hitched despite repeated dalliances by the husband needn't be honored, especially when its a situation like the HildaBeast's, wherein I believe she stays married out of an unhealthy LustFerPower!!"

I did try hard to separate my comments about women who stay in marriages with unfaithful husbands from the question of Hillary's marriage. Apparently I was not successful--I'll repeat again, I hold no brief for the Clintons.

But I CANNOT accept the idea that a marriage can be "torn asunder" by one of the spouses. One of the other posters said that I was not being "Biblical" when wrote my original post on this.

But saying that a spouse can "tear a marriage asunder" by his (or her) conduct is itself un-Biblical, because what you are saying is that MAN can tear a marriage asunder. Christ makes it very clear that MAN cannot do that.
