I agree. What does that have to do with anything, though?

As a practical matter, how can two people stay together when at least one of the persons decides they want to regularly date and have sex with their son's hunky young soccer coach, for example?

And yes, in the era of Brokeback Mountain, I suppose either spouse could be so smitten. :-)

You asked, "As a practical matter, how can two people stay together when at least one of the persons decides they want to regularly date and have sex with their son's hunky young soccer coach, for example?"

That's a very reasonable question. My understanding of the vow --- my vow, my husband's vow--- is that if one of us did something abominable in the other person's eyes (I think of the A words: Abortion, Abandonment, Adultery or Abuse) then the couple can live apart from each other, but the guilty party has to try to repent, and the innocent party has to pray for, and hope for, the other person's repentance,and the eventual restoration of the marriage.

That may seem difficult; but that's what the promise is.
