"You're absolutely right. She is a terrible example of a "married" woman and to little girls and young women, and other married women too. I don't want to get slammed for this, but staying with a cheating, lying man is not a good example.
Yes, everyone deserves a second chance. My husband screwed up pretty bad but we had counseling and stayed together and our marriage is good now. HOWEVER . . . IF he would ever even think of doing it again . . . I'd be gone with the kids.

Hmm. I think you're incorrect. Jesus said that we should forgive seventy times seven times. Whatever can be said of the Clintons, the fact that they remain husband and wife is not something that should be criticized. In this world where 50% of all marriages end in divorce, I think we should congratulate those who keep their marriages.
Apparently Hillary forgave Bill Clinton and remains married to him. Seems like the right thing to do to me.
Forgiveness doesn't mean staying with a person who is not keeping his/her marital vows! You can forgive another person but that does not mean you have to subject yourself to his/her behavior, esp. if it's harmful and immoral.
I've forgiven my FIL for his behavior to our family (NONE of it was sexually inappropriate, but he's caused LOTS of pain), but if I have the choice I will never speak to him again, never eat another meal in his house, and never let him enter my home again. I've forgiven him, but I will NOT subject myself to him.
Thing is, the Clintons are married
"in name only." They haven't lived
under the same roof since leaving the
White House. Even then, they lived on
seperate floors. Personally, I don't
call that "married."
I agree. Don't remember seeing anything about we should only forgive those whom we think are "ok"....in fact, just the opposite.
