Strictly speaking, adulterers & adulteresses are home wreckers. So many badly behaved children are a result of broken homes mostly caused by adulterous parents. Promiscuity cannot be stopped but lets see if parents can be kept in check if there are penalties for there behaviour.

Adultery already is illegal. Marriage is amoung other things a legal contract, if you break that contract, you would be "punished" by having to meet the costs of a divorce and would probably come off slightly worse when assets are divided.

There are steps you can take to actually build a strong, stable marriage and avoid divorce. Read here https://tr.im/vua7b
Here are some key steps to apply to your marriage:
- Start by understanding and being informed.
You can never be too informed about tools, methods and studies about building successful marriages. Understand the risk factors like your age and maturity at marriage can determine how successful it will be, the anatomy of an affair and what you can do after infidelity. Understand the success factors like the personal and psychological circumstances that will influence your marriage, what are the tools and approaches available to you in dealing with conflict, and numerous other relevant data. All this information is readily available to you whether through self-help material, through a counselor, support group or other venues. In fact, we have made it our commitment to provide these to you in different formats to help you make the best marriage you can.
The thing is, remember, this is information is not available for you to begin hyper-psychoanalyzing your relationship, yourself and your partner. It's not a matter of spewing trivia for the sake of conversation ' information is there for you to ponder over and internalize to help you transform yourself and your marriage. That includes maturing to such a point that you become more competent in your knowledge but more prudent in approach.

Are you trying to blow up the world? Haven't you noticed that everyone does it?
The best possible reaction would be to have 'adultery' DEcriminalised - it's already seen as far too great a sin than it deserves, especially given its ubiquity.
Why blame the 'cheater' for the way that the cheatee reacts? If homes are destroyed, the destruction is typically caused by the wronged party - throwing his or her toys out of the pram and demanding an end to what may be an otherwise perfectly stable relationships.
It's high time people grew up and stoppoed obsessing about what their partner does with their genitals. There should be more to a relationship than custody of your partner's chastity.

@D. Allman:
o Nobody 'cheats on me' because I don't treat my relationships like a bloody card game or exam, and I don't make commitments I won't keep.
o Thanks for your horrible view on what marriage is: apparently some deranged version of Monopoly with genitalia. Happily for me I don't have to follow your tiny-minded prescription. I certainly advise no-one to marry you. If it happens anyway, whatever you do, don't reproduce.

i agree with you entirely,years ago you would have been stoned for commiting adultery,so what,s happened between then and now,ithink it,s because your government bods,and even royalty are doing it ,it,s an everyday thing,it,s like it,s expected of you,i say they should do away with marriage ,it does,nt mean a thing to a lot of people today after saying that , certain people would lose too much money.( IT,S THOUGHT THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE ),it should be greener in your own back garden.

I think it should be, if i isnt already and the poeple who say 'No thats my own buisness' blah blah they are the cheaters themselves or they have no relation to being cheated on. It would be breaking the vowns and contract of marrige. Just like in a court case or something if you didnt wanna do what you said you would do then you would be breaking the contract and you would have to suffer the concequences. The same goes for marrige.
The divorce rate wouldnt be so high if people would just think before they get hitched.
people should either break up or not cheat.

Yes.
Like most anything that has a license. When people are married. They have a license to do so. Or if there is a ceremony for partners that is taken into faith as a marriage license those people have made vows to follow that license. If there is adultery I think action should be taken. Just like speeding in a car. It is in fact a criminal act!

No.
"Adultery" is a religious term and should remain within the religious realm.
The "penalties" are all ready set and enforcible upon request of the aggrieved spouse. To add any other sort of penalty is to include governmental control where none is wanted or needed.

No, that is just another way for the narrow minded to control what I (or you) do in the privacy of my own home. That would go hand in hand with some of the anti-gay laws that some states try to have. It is an invasion of privacy and a mixing of church and state that should never be allowed. If you want to save the children who will be in control of our futures, require common sense and decency testing for prospective parents of children, many badly behaved children are a result of plain old bad parenting. But that is a whole other issue.
And no, I don't cheat nor do I condone this behavior.

No, because that's called walking backwards. At one point in our history it was Ilegal. It still has enough consquence from a civil and social point of view. Do you want other old laws to be re-introduced like the death penalty?

i think no, becuase at the end of the day its human nature, we may fall in love with one person and 10 yrs down the line its just gone and then we fall for another. I DONT agree with it, but i dont think it should be illegal. I do think that during the devorce (if any) that their should be a favorable leaning towards the one who has no cheated but then again, people in relationships can do all sorts not just cheat. emotional/verbal or even physical abuse etc.
i just think it should be taken in to consideration during divorces
