PO, my point is that there are couples who have remained faithful to one another in spite of serious hardships, and they make the rest look bad.
Adultery is inexcusable. IMO, it would be better for the couple to honestly face their problems, and if they can't be reconciled, possibly divorce, than for one of them to commit adultery with a third party. Fornication(sexual sin) is a sin against God, other people, AND your own body--the temple of God. It's serious.
In the OT, the adulterer and his mistress were stoned, but his wife was not. (or the adulteress and her mister)
If the wife were equally to blame, then why not stone her as well?
Because she's the "innocent party"--that's why.
