If the person admits to the sin and turns from it then you are to forgive just as Christ did. However having a spouse not admitting to the problem/sin and turning from it and that sin causes you to stumble back into sin then you should separate yourself from the problem. NOTICE I said separate not divorce. We are not of this world and as such we are to hold ourselves separate from it. Kind of hard to do that when you are dealing with an unrepentant spouse that sees nothing wrong and you add children to the mix.

As far as my "Christian" standing goes, Christ knows my heart and that is all you need to worry about.

Your advice is not biblical, Jesus did not say to separate from your spouse, in fact just the opposite:

1 Pet 3:1-2
Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.

This says to stay with an unbelieving spouse and win them over by ones' own actions in working on oneself to show Jesus to them. Any sin problem that is in someone is not because of their spouse, it is because of themselves. Yeah it might be a bit easier, if that is not in front of you because your spouse is doing that sin, but that's where one's relationship with Jesus has to come in to overcome, nobody said it was easy. But if everybody would separate from their spouse, because of every little bit of difficulty (here even ones' own problems) then we would have a big mess in our families, in our churches, worse than it is now.
And couples separating like that mostly does lead to divorce eventually, that's statistic. If you go that far, then satan has an easy target to do the rest and totally destroy that marriage - divide and conquer!
This kind of advice you can give to people that are just in a friendship but not in a marriage!
As Christians we can't give advice nor do or believe things that are contrary to God's word just because we think or feel something is right, since that is rebellion and sin. It always has to measure up to God's word.

Read Ephesians chapter 5. Husbands also have responsibility to their wives.

I believe wives can totally leave their husbands (or vice-versa) in event of abuse. I'm not talking a little name-calling but domestic violence etc.

i hope i dont upset anyone with this post but its something i really feel i need to get some feed bk on.

men... why does sexual sin happen, in that its in the news alot lately, on men raping under age girls, killing little girls or abducting them. catholics with the rape of young boys. i just dont understand how on earth men get it in there head that these things are ok. why SOME men feel its ok to over power everyone in frount of them to degrate and make the victim feel degrading and mentaly scared for the rest of there lives, while they walk around thinking its a normal thing.

is it because young men arnt told to respect other people now, or is it a fact of life.
is there anything in the bible to why?
what can we do about it?

God bless x

Hey just noticed this thread. I think the answer is pretty simple; If someone does not have Christ in their lives, then they will give in to their most base desires. There is no point trying to rationalise or understand the sins men who do not know Christ commit. You focused on the sexual sins of men, but that is only one of many evil temptations that human beings are tempted with. No Christ = Sin. Simple! :)

Is this your answer to my post? Wasn't quite sure...
If it is, then I don't know what it has to do with what I was saying. Of course they have responsibility to their wives, nobody denies that. There are responsibilities between husband and wife to each other, but that doesn't mean that if one falls short of one or more of them that the other spouse has a right to leave and definitely not the right to divorce (Exception for adultery). This would be very immature at best and very destructive for the marriage and again not biblical, as I already stated the scripture for it ( and that applies to both parties alike).

Tintin: I agree that if someone's life is in real danger (e.g. abuse) that they should separate for a while until there is real repentance, not divorce.


Seems to get a bit off topic, anyways, I think I have made my point clear, either it's biblically backed up by scripture or anything else is just opinion which leads into danger of wandering away from God's will, which then easily leads into sin, besides it really can mess up one's own life and that of others.
