Oh, yeah! The 10 Marriage Commandments, and why it is in your interest to follow them!

I am your Spouse, and have made vows and covenants before God with you:
1. Thou shalt have no other Spouse before me;
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any photo image, or any likeness of any other that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; (In Ephesians 5:21, it says, "Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.")
3. Thou shalt not take the name of thy spouse in vain;
4. Remember the wedding day, to keep it holy;
5. Thou shalt not kill (the marriage);
6. Thou shalt not commit adultery (I didn't have to rewrite this one);
7. Thou shalt not steal thy children's security and happiness;
8. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy spouse;
9. Thou shalt love thy spouse as thyself; (Ephesians 5:33 "Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.")
10.Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's spouse. (Genesis 39 describes what Joseph did when confronted with the possibility of commiting adultery with another man's wife, "11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within. 12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.")

Another scriptural reference:
Proverbs 6
25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

Anyway, I can find scriptural references by the hundreds, however, unless the WAS holds this to be true within their hearts, it makes no difference. Some WAS's even think that God is leading them out of their marriages, so that they can be happy. They convince themselves of the rightness of their choices, and are blinded by their selfishness. Even if one is not a believer in any religion, the damage of adultery and divorce are there for all to see.
