That is impossible.

Your own vow to God is only broken when you go against your vow. However, your spouse's vow to you and to God is broken when he or she has sex with another.

Again, you vowed "Until death". That means "Until death". So you are still right before God if you stay single or reconcile without having had sex with another after your spouse cheated on you.

I disagree. The vow was broken.

What if your vows didn't say "Until Death"?

Whew, so many rules....

That is why there are so many passive Christians. The attempts to lead a decent life and live happily are always hammered by the zealous faithful trying to "one-up" with their moral superiority.

Marriages end due to a diverse array of circumstances, including adultery, abuse, neglect, diverging philosophies, etc. and to suggest that remarriage cannot occur and that one must remain alone and unhappy after a lonely and unhappy marriage seems torturous. God would never be so cruel.
