No, serial adulterers are very much like serial wife-beaters (and often they are one in the same).

One type of wife takes her husband back again and again when he apologizes. She’s always hoping he changed this time around. (Of course, he’ll find a way to blame her for making him beat her.) But he never changes; each time she takes him back, he simply learns more about how to manipulate her.

The other type of wife also takes her husband back again and again when he apologizes. She, too, is always hoping he changed this time around. (And, of course, he finds a way to blame her for making him cheat.) He never changes either; he only learns how to be sneakier.

For a while, I sat in a church group listening to many Christian women cry about their husbands’ infidelities. Some of these women were still very young and beautiful. There were older women there, too. All of these women considered it their Christian duty to stay with their husbands. Each husband would pretend to change and would fool everyone for some time. Eventually, each and every one of those husbands were discovered cheating again.

Like those men, this one will never change, either. It has nothing to do with his wife. He is the problem.

I've seen the same thing. And when the woman has finally suffered enough, her church has plenty of pious Christians who've never had to face anything like her problems in their own families, ready to shame her for being the victim of adultery and/or abuse, and to accuse her of unChristian-like vindictiveness for refusing to allow herself to go on having her anti-husband keep mocking her faith-filled efforts to single-handedly hold their marriage together.
