Why do people put importance in Hillary being a forgiving wife? The Bible says adultry is grtounds for divorce. To tolerate his behavior certainly dont make her a very strong woman>

well personally I don't think she "forgave" him at all because that would imply she actually gave a sh*t what he did. i think she stayed with him because she was already thinking of having a political career and she knew "standing by her man" would reflect well on her. Afterall, you think people would even be considering her as a presidential candidate if she was a divorced, single mom? I don't think so. America wants this perfect little family as the First Family....not a broken one. I doubt she and Bill Clinton have even slept in the same bed in YEARS. I have a feeling their "marriage" is nothing more than a political and business partnership that is more friendship than anything else. I don't think it was always like that....if you see pictures of the 2 of them in college years, it's clear on their faces how in love they were. But unfortunately, Bill's many infidelities I think broke something in her and she decided "well, I'm going to use this for all its worth" instead of leaving him.

Hillary didn't "forgive" Bill. Bill does not live with Hillary, Bill lives in Manhattan, Hillary lives in Masepequa New York. The only time Hillary and Bill are together is during photo ops or if Chelsea is visiting which she doesn't do often (she has estranged herself from her parents). Bill and Hillary are basically "estranged" but it is better for her "career" if she remains married rather than divorcing Bill. Logistically she has a better chance at getting the White house if she remains married rather than divorcing. She knew the type of man Bill was from the very beginning...she pushed him into the White House and remained married to him because of her own agenda which is coming to fruition...it has nothing to do with marriage...and everything to do with career.
By the way, I don't praise Hillary for anything she does. I wouldn't vote for her if she was the last man on earth.

It doesn't say that you automatically HAVE to divorce - but that it's an OK "out". THere are some awfully strong marriages out there that have withstood adultery and have become better and stronger. And they are happy.
I'm going to be honest: I don't think I could EVER forget. Forgive, yes. Of course. Forget? Get over? Never. Even if the other party never cheated again, my feelings would color every minute of our relationship - so it'd be better to part.
Just because you HAVE a choice doesn't always mean you should take it.
Plus - I really don't think they have a conventional marriage. I think it's an arrangement that benefits them professionally. I could be wrong, but that's how I feel.

The Bible doesn't demand divorce, it just gives it as an option.
Keep reading, there are many, many verses about forgiveness.
It is easier many times to run from painful events. To be able to hold up her head, seek help for their problems and fight for her marriage takes lots of effort and strength.
Not just talking about "Hillary", but about any spouse who is willing to fight for their marriage and the person they love.
The easy way out is to RUN.

It's up to each person, not the Bible, if he or she wants to divorce after being cheated.
A half of married couples are already divorcing whether they have the grounds for divorce or not. Married people should fight for their marriage, not file for divorce as soon as marriage hits the rocks.

Hillary forgave to keep from rattling the skeletons in her own closet.
It's not really forgiving, is it? They don't praise for forgiveness, they praise for lack of bitterness. 2 different things.

The bible only says it is ok to divorce it dosen't say you have to. She choose to forgive him and keep her family together for whatever reason.The choice was hers to make and is no one elses business.

Forgiving wife???? How can we expect her to stand up for us as a nation when she couldn't even stand up for herself as an individual when her husband publicly humiliated her. I would have had respect for her and maybe voted for her IF SHE Had STOOD UP TO BILL AND PUBICALY GAVE HIM HIS DUE.

She is this way cause she is in the public eye. If she was just another person in this world like you are I. She would have kick his butt to the curb. Look at all the votes and attention it gets her....
