All activists must be conscious of the fact that the closer we walk along the path of righteousness, the more life's little distractions will attempt to divert us from our various missions.

Yes, you're right. Even if we're not activists, we'll find constant opposition as we seek to live holy lives in Christ.

The situation of the former Mr. and Mrs. Terry represents one type of distraction. I confess I jumped to a conclusion (with prejudice) because this is one of every SAHM's nightmares ... husband decides "Our marriage is breaking down," and there's nothing you can do, while he quickly finds a woman half your age, and starts a new family with a $400,000 house (notice my subtle class-warfare theme, too :-).

Irrespective of moral judgments on any party, the objective facts of the situation reinforce the idea that marriage covenants are always revocable, and that personal gratification is the highest end in life.

I am not a Catholic, but I am starting to understand why Paul commented:

1 Corinthians 7
For this world in its present form is passing away.
(32)I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs- -how he can please the Lord. (33)But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world--how he can please his wife-- (34) and his interests are divided.
