“Oh, well, that would make it okay, then?”
Not being judgmental just asking. BTW my wife just passed away from diabetes and stage 3 renal failure attributed to the diabetes. I was her care giver for the last 6, very stressful years, of a 43 year marriage. I believe in till death do us part.
Prayers up and condolences on your loss.
I believe in death us do part, as well. Check my posting history.
That being said, I saw a speech Newt gave early last year. He was quite candid about the pain he had caused others and the mess he made in his private life. He went through a recovery program to explore why, even when he literally had it all, he felt such a hole inside that grew bigger with every success. He did a lot of soul searching and healing through Christ; I believe those around him who say he is a changed man. I also believe that the closer he moved to God, the more he saw how far off track the country was going.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think he has been born-again, although Catholics don't usually refer to it as such.
As for Marianne, she had just ended a 6-year long affair with a married father of 3 kids when she met Newt. Obviously, her moral compass was quite off, as well. Sorry, I can't muster a lot of sympathy for her. When I was single, I wouldn't even look at a man if I knew he was dating, let alone married.
