The Religious Wife & Her Husband of Ill Repute

Religious wives who choose to remain with husbands who've participated in sexual sin, by definition, may very well do so for the sole purpose of persecuting him for what he's either admitted to taking part in or getting caught in taking part in.

Some of these women can be classified as viragos.  I've seen it, and essentially, from my point of view, it's her exploiting a marital relationship in order for her husband to suffer by her hand "'till death do us part".

We all enjoy watching others suffer.  It's one of the reasons behind our fascination with news / current events television.  When you're "in the know" relative to others pain, either through journalism or gossip, it can instantly seem to elevate one's sense of well-being by gratifying that part of us that detest self-examination (by distraction).

A religious wife may say, "I don't know the you who's done these things", or she simply may stay tight-lipped about the entire situation, to the point of completely disregarding the man's need for recovery (through Samson Society or otherwise).

Religion is tangible.  There is order there, and this plays into a wife's need for security.  But religion, as we know from Scripture, is empty / fruitless.  It promotes pride which is the ultimate demerit against our Heavenly Father.

Now there's another piece to this, and that's the sexual side of these couple's marriages.

Religion in no way promotes pleasurable activity within the marriage bed because the emphasis is always on moral / spiritual superiority coupled with an almost repugnant view of the flesh.  There's plenty of instruction on obedience and holiness, but none related to oral sex, heavy petting, or butt play because the two simply cannot coexist.  Oral sex, heavy petting, and butt play promote vulnerability and shameless physical pleasure between husband and wife.  These awesome activities promote unity by helping marriages heal systematically as they endure the repetitive grind.

But religion isn't interested in healing.  Not really.  Because when healing occurs, there's that loss of power and control over the failed spouse and that intoxicating sense of moral superiority / opportunity for persecution.

Marriage is a joining of two into one.  One flesh.  Husband and wife.  Man and woman.  It's a amazingly complex, supernatural work.  There are Biblical standards for marriages to end in divorce.  It's all written in Scripture, but if a couple chooses to work through sexual sin, the scenario I've described here must be avoided at all costs.  Otherwise, you'll simply end up with a husband who's walking through life with a boot on his neck.  And that's in no way in line with the respect he needs to thrive as his wife's husband.
