There are legitimate reasons for ending a marriage. Like adultery. Abandonment. and Abuse. These are the three "A's", in my book. In none of these cases is it always possible to continue a marriage. Even forgiveness cannot ALWAYS fix things. No one has to assent to being further physically abused, or cheated on, or, of course, abandoned. We are called to live in peace. That peace must be in our hearts, and if it is not there, something has to change.
