If it does happen again, then, well, I just don't know. If she should leave him, divorce him whatever, could she even marry again in that situation-- he didn't cheat on her? If she left him for a reason not Biblical, couldn't he just write the whole "mistake of marrying JB-W" off and marry someone else in the future?
Wouldn't it be better for her to forgive him? Wouldn't it be wise of for the 2 of them TOGETHER to seek the face of God AND professional help?
I don't think anyone does any one particular sin just once, when there is not an immediate and strong-handed punishment. But to not give anyone the benefit of doubt is wrong, presumptuous, and self-condemning. After all, they do still love each other.
