| 0:00.0 | I think the Lord's best in every case of adultery is that there would be full reconciliation, that there would be forgiveness, rebuilding trust. I think that's the ideal. And I think any couple that's been through to the other side will say, thank God we didn't call it quit. Because there's kids in the mix. There's history. It's just messy. Divorce is extremely messy. That's going to be the ideal. Biblically, do you have grounds for divorce? I think that's what the remarriage question theologians don't agree on. |
| 0:23.9 | And I think that's |
| 0:21.3 | what the remarriage question theologians don't agree on. And I know there's a popular take there |
| 0:25.1 | that people like, and it's that you can divorce and remarriage in the case of adultery. |
| 0:35.4 | Hello and welcome once again to the fierce marriagece Marriage podcast. This week we are continuing |
| 0:39.9 | with our second plague of ten plagues that face marriage today. Last week we talked about |
| 0:46.8 | the plague of pornography and we got into some really, I think, weighty issues. Right. Right. At the root of why that would plague a marriage. |
| 0:57.0 | Go ahead. |

| 1:15.6 | And yes, there's a self-selecting demographic. |
| 1:17.7 | We went over some numbers on that first episode if you want to go back and check that out. |
| 1:21.6 | But these are not, this are not arbitrary, you know, one, two, three, four. |
| 1:26.6 | There's an order. |
| 1:29.8 | There's a, there's a, yeah, an order to this madness. Yeah. So we're going through these because clearly |
| 1:34.3 | they're important issues, right? As the data has shown, if, if we have this sample of 1600 or |
| 1:40.5 | 1,300-ish people who've written in, and these are the themes that are arising in that data. |
| 1:46.0 | That tells me that that's a theme that maybe could be extrapolated out outward into the masses. |
| 1:51.0 | And so the reason we're doing that is to help these couples as they write in. |
| 1:54.0 | We're going to talk about a question that was representative of this theme. |
