Matthew 5:32. According to the Bible divorce is an option if your marriage partner commits adultery (Matthew 5:31-32, "It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery”). At the same time divorce should be the last resort in a marriage, especially if the adulterer repents to God of their wrongdoings.

MATTHEW 5 BIBLE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:32, "But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery."

1 Corinthians 7:11. Another option in coping with adultery is to separate. In this case separation from your spouse for a season may heal the relationship (1 Corinthians 7:11, “But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife”).

BIBLE SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 7:11, “But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.”

Proverbs 19:20. As adultery creates so much confusion in marriage relationships, a person should seek God’s direction and receive ministerial counseling to find out what God should have for them to do (Proverbs 19:20, “Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end”).

PROVERBS 19 BIBLE SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 19:20, “Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.”

Proverbs 6:32. One thing for you to remember when coping with adultery, is to realize that the adulterous marriage partner does not understand the full consequences of their actions. If they did, they would not have been tempted to commit adultery. An adulterer may not fully understand that his or her actions may very well destroy a marriage and family. The adulterer may not understand how God separates adulterers from His fellowship. Or how adultery actually destroys the soul through corruption and ultimately death (Proverbs 6:32, “But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul”).

BIBLE SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 6:32, “But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.”

Luke 17:4. One of the hardest things in coping with adultery is to actually forgive the marriage partner that has committed the adulterous act. The Bible tells us that if someone repents, we are suppose to forgive them. Even if they keep falling down but truly repent, we should forgive them (Luke 17:3-4, “Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him”).

BIBLE SCRIPTURE: Luke 17:4, "And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him."

Jesus forgives all of us that repents of their sin. God expects us to forgive people as He forgave us (2 Corinthians 2:10, “To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; “).

BIBLE SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 2:10, “To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; “
