>>>> I guess marriage vows don't mean so much to you>>>>

Well, I took my marriage vows a long time ago, 44 years to be exact. We have loved & cherished & been faithful to each other all that time. No where do I remember the vow that said I could kill him if he didn't hold up his end. That clause says divorce, not murder. I would have divorced Harris & taken every dime he would ever earn.

Till death do us part.

Nothing in there at all about divorce.

You ask, "Why does he not?" Because the LORD was witness to the covenant between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant. Has not the one God made and sustained for us the spirit of life? And what does he desire? Godly offspring. So take heed to yourselves, and let none be faithless to the wife of his youth. "For I hate divorce, says the LORD the God of Israel, and covering one's garment with violence, says the LORD of hosts. So take heed to yourselves and do not be faithless." You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, "How have we wearied him?" By saying, "Every one who does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them." Or by asking, "Where is the God of justice?" (Malachi 2.14-17, RSV)
