I do also think it is important to remember that the Bible says we are released of our vows if adultery has been committed by our spouse. That does not mean we have to stop standing of course, but it does mean that even in God's eyes, something terrible has happened to us and we are not expected to stand if we feel we cannot do it anymore. I think everyone reaches their turning point in their own time. Sometimes the turning point is the spouse coming home and a new marriage begins. Sometimes papers are filed and divorces go through. And none of us can predict the outcomes; we just have to let things fall as they may.
Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
