Of course, there are other equally valid opinions. In the end... you have to be true to yourself and live as you feel led by the Spirit regarding what is acceptable before your God. You only answer to Him anyway.
As a husband... I mean... what do you do if you get home from work, and before you take off your tie, your wife walks up to you, smiles, and says, "Mr. President... may I have an urgent word with you?" lol
Would a decent husband divorce her?
Squash her mood and rebuke her?
I can only speak for myself because... I know Presidents can be very busy people, but I might make time to discover what this intern considers "urgent". lol

Re: Adultery and divorce
I can only speak for myself... but when one has been married almost 30 years it's either hot or cold... Hot is much better! I think a buncha folks could use a copy of that book.

Secret To A Long Happy Marriage
An old woman was sipping on a glass of wine, while sitting on the porch with her husband, and she says, "I love you so much, I don't see how I could ever live without you." Her husband asks, "Is that you or the wine talking?" She replies, "It's me, talking to the wine!"
