While we're on Swaggert...How about NY Gov. Spitzer?

[RamboPreacher]

Wow, I hope all people are not so quik to throw away their spouses.

While I do not condon this behavior, I do know that it is far better in most cases, for the couple to stay together. There does not seem to be any evidence of physical or emotional abuse in his past.

This behavior is certainly evidence of a deeper relational problem.

Please be careful how you make your claims as to what you would or would not do.

zactly.

And photos

Anyone else look at those photos and think, "For that kind of money, you'd think he could do better."?

Ain't a woman on the planet worth $80,000.

more zactly!

Actually, I think Oprah is worth quite a bit more than that.

[Mike Vande]

he was a repeat customer who spent as much as $80,000 with the high-priced prostitution service over an extended period of time

80 grand....for sex.....and his wife stood by his side at the news conference....she's a better woman than me.

Maybe it was worth $80,000 to her not to have to do the deed with him...

Which is the only reason Steadman is still hanging around.

Well, more accurately, there are some that might seem worth $80.000 before, but none that seem like it afterwards. I think buyers remorse would kick in pretty hard...

Dr. Ron, I respect you, but I can tell you one thing if a man is having sex and paying for it with anyone else but his wife, then I certainly do not see why a woman has to "stand by her man."

If a woman is caught cheating, she's considered a whore and ever sympathizes with the poor husband. Why is it that a man should be treated differently?

I think what Dr. Ron is saying (and I'd agree) is that no matter if it's the man or the woman, if the marriage can be salvaged, that should be at least attempted first. As Christians forgiveness is required, and reconciliation if possible would still be best.

Agreed. They have three small daughters I believe. Do you best to salvage the situation first.

[MacUser]

btw.. you can't tell me that this wife didn't know about this.

The reports were that she wanted him to stay in office. Even stood by him in the public press. Sounds like the Hillary syndrome to me.

I believe he's even a SUPER DELEGATE pledged for Hillary. She didn't condemn his actions when asked about it.... but said I wish him the best.

[Dr. Ron]

Thanks Pastor Bill, you read me right.

The better thing is "always" attempt to gain a reconciliation. In some cases, it may not be possible, but it should be attempted.
In most of the cases I deal with....either one or both of the spouses wish they had tried harder to reconcile.

The divorce rate for 2nd and 3rd marriages is a great deal higher than for 1st. That says a great deal.

No, I don't think 80,000.00 was fair. Looking at HIM and then HER I think he still owes her money. I wouldn't have sex with him for any amount.

You might also want to know that MANY wives use sex to get what they want ....kind of a legalized prostitution..... He may have been paying a lot more for sex at home than he was with this kid......May not have been getting any at home.

I noticed you ladies stayed away from the comment on "legalized prostitution " and went straight for the "gay" comment....

Nawww, I don't use it to get what I want.

Allthough.... it does say a lot about men when they are willing to do anything to get it.
