From the beginning? Do you suppose she would have married him in the first
place knowing that he would cheat on her in the future? I doubt it.

That may be so, but we are discussing in the context of marriage, and a
Christian marriage at that. Things are a little less varied than you suppose
them to be.

Seeing as how I know nothing about your personal life, I would say that you
have no justification to comment on any conclusions I may have about it (unless
of course you are married and you cheat on your wife). And please don't equate
"cheating" to marriages of convenience or some alternative, "open" marriage.
Infidelity is about lying, cheating, and breaking promises. Nobody I'm aware
tolerates that.

I reject your moral relativism, because when all is said and done, it is
dishonesty.

How can you claim honesty when you've just finished advocating dishonest
behavior?

Well, speaking of the Clintons, how can you claim to know that they are in some
open marriage situation? I claim to know that they aren't in fact that way if
indeed they were married in a Christian church. Their fear of a divorce
hurting their political careers is disingenuous and cowardly.
