Yes, you're right. Even if we're not activists, we'll find constant opposition as we seek to live holy lives in Christ.
The situation of the former Mr. and Mrs. Terry represents one type of distraction. I confess I jumped to a conclusion (with prejudice) because this is one of every SAHM's nightmares ... husband decides "Our marriage is breaking down," and there's nothing you can do, while he quickly finds a woman half your age, and starts a new family with a $400,000 house (notice my subtle class-warfare theme, too :-).
Irrespective of moral judgments on any party, the objective facts of the situation reinforce the idea that marriage covenants are always revocable, and that personal gratification is the highest end in life.
