Pardon my interruption, but on this I have to speak up.
So, in your opinion someone who breaks covenants with God and their spouse is going to be honest in everything else?
To you that does not make this person male or female less trustworthy?
When Bill Clinton was occupying the oval office, I often stated that if his wife could not trust him than how could I?
I also remember saying of her hindness if she’s the smartest woman in the world how come everybody else in the country knew bill was lying before she did?
By your reasoning Bill Clinton could have been a fantastic CIC in spite of his person indiscretions, after all, it’s all about sex.
I will disagree with you on this all the way to the mat, there is not better indicator of personal honesty than honesty within the marriage covenant.
No. I said that they wouldn't necessarily be dishonest in everything else. Maybe they are rotten people through and through. Maybe they just had a very poor spouse, grew alienated, and grew to love someone else (maybe even someone better). Maybe something in between. Not necessarily any one thing, though
To you that does not make this person male or female less trustworthy?
In itself it makes them less trustworthy, certainly not more trustworthy. But that's not to say it makes them necessarily untrusthrowthy.

Makes sense. Of course, Clinton was a habitual, serial adulterer, but the average person who cheats on their spouse isn't. People cheat for all sorts of reasons, some more sympathetic than others. Clinton's habits and the reasons he cheated (in his own words, he did it because he could) aren't terribly compelling nor sympathetic.

No argument there.

Not exactly my reasoning at all, for reasons I described above.

I agree, the marriage agreement is important. But everyone whose marriage collapses isn't by definition a bad or incompetent person.
