A husband continues adulterous affairs during the marriage, also views porno on the computer & magazines, scorns the wife when she asks to talk about the situation & says "who would want you!" (meaning the wife) The wife went to pastors through the years & received no help other than be a better wife, be submissive, etc. The husband was even a church officer, had improper relations with a divorced, new Christian lady in the church, a deacon spoke to him, he still kept having affairs. He was also abusive to the wife until she finally had to leave and go to a shelter, but after the children were grown. It has been years & he continues to disobey court orders & continues to cause legal problems for the wife. She is still afraid of him. Is it scriptural for her to get a divorce - she has NO plans to re-marry or ever even date! The divorce would release her from further legal problems from the husband. The wife has had varying opinions from pastors and strong Christians. She wants to be scriptural, but is weary of the continued abuse & the husband continues to have improper sexual relations with multiple people, so much so that he was just fired from a long-term job for keeping clients phone #s, calling them & demanding sexual relations with them. This has gotten worse and the wife doesn't know what to do. Please give scriptural backing for your answers - not just your opinions, please. Thank you!
