I can only think of two ways to define "adulterous marriage":
- marrying a second person while you're still legally married to a first;
- marrying a second person after you're divorced from a first for a reason other than adultery;
In the first case, the second marriage is simply null and void, so you need to end the relationship and forego all association with that person. In the second, if the Lord convicts you about it, you need to end the relationship as in the first case. If He doesn't (and you're actually seeking His will on the matter), then you're good to continue with it and treat it as though it is not adulterous.
It's really not that complicated... unless there are children of the second relationship involved.

This is revealing Sin nature in every person
Lets go deeper
Matthew 5:28
but I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Mark 4:19
and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

Under Law, I am annihilated. I would have to become a Torso, everything cut off, to keep from ever sinning again, yet would still sin, at least in thought alone! not under Grace given everyone by God Father through risen Son now. The gift to appreciate and not use to get stuff here today as I used today
I am guilty, yet from God by Son's one time willing death I am reconciled as if never sinned
Amazing this is isn't it?
Now what is left?
To believe, Son is risen to give you, me and anyone else that believes God, between them and God, receive the new life offered them. in the risen Son to not do anymore work of self. To be taught to only do the done work of God for each personally in love and mercy to all, the same as given them from God Father first through Son.
What? I hear people say, "I" got to or else!
Okay, you continue and try to find out you can't, not perfectly anyway. Go ahead and be under Law and be cursed to cut off all your flesh parts, be a torso, for that is what Jesus has revealed to me, "I" can't, no one can. Just read the First (Old) Testament and see, the first chosen could not do it ever perfect ever.
So God sent Son to take our place, in the deserving to be dead first in his one time willing death, reconciled us all to himself for us to get given free of charge new life in his risen
Life to lead, not me anymore or anyone else either
Risen where new life in Father's Spirit and Truth resides to get given if not yet given to then next person that decides to beleive God over everything else. These new kids learn new and stop anything that harms anyone else. this be the walk being taught me, I first see to agree and in agreement I leave sin behind me and move forward in the high calling where Father as the Holy Spirit does the leading, as I rest in thanksgiving and praise, not me working at it anymore
For by anyone working at it, that is where sin resides in each
I want to do good, yet I find me not doing it, what is up with that
Romans 7:21
I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
Romans 7:10
And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
Under Law, this reveals the curse of the first born person, that needs new life to get imputed in them. Which only Father and Son as Won can do, thank you
