> I agree with your entire post except for the above.

I hope your opposition is based on cruelty or physical abuse.

For these, I can understand a secular government that would make an exception.

Biblically, separation, not divorce, would be required in such a situation.

The issue is quite complex, and involves the vetting process that should occur by parents during the courtship.

One thing I tell my daughters is that, if any boy is interested in them, I will look at how he treats his mother and his sisters, if he has any, or how he regards women who are not subjects of his romantic (or sexual) interests.

I will also look at his relationship to his father and to his boss at work. If I hear, “My boss is a jerk,” the young man will have disqualified himself.

My three acceptable reasons for divorce; Adultery, abuse or addiction.

I realize that my views are at odds with the Holy Bible and I would remind you that they used to stone prostitutes to death in the Bible as well....until Jesus stood up with one of the most powerful phrases ever uttered by anyone, ever.

Well, then, you're a fool. Some bosses are jerks.

By your "logic", Monica Lewinsky was in the wrong -- she denounced her boss as a jerk, after all.
