Taj,<P>That was a tongue-in-cheek post. They could fix their marriage infinitely easier than most people in this forum if they really tried. I heard about 5 years ago on James Dobson's Focus on the Family that 27% of all pastors in America get caught in adultery and are punished by church authority. Just imagine how many pastors don't get caught or their church decides to keep it quiet. And that was 5 years ago, long before moaning Monica Lewinsky invaded the culture.<P>Pastoral counseling involving opposite sexes should be banned. A woman should seek a female counselor and vice versa. Some churches are already doing this because they are tired of the timebomb that eventually goes off in so many cases where a vulnerable woman bares her soul to an overworked exhausted authority figure.<P>Some churches refuse to marry couples without pre-marital counseling. I have known people who were furious with this "childish" demand, married at other churches, and their marriage bombed right away because they "didn't want to spoil the magic" by examining the real issues before marriage.<P>These are positive steps. Turning off the TV set, computer, etc., and having to entertain each other, look at each other, talk to each other, is probably the quickest way for society to turn around. But we know they won't.<P>Traditionally, with human behavior, it's all about money. When an economy is good, people sin their brains out. When war/health problems/famine/economic depression hits, everybody gets extremely religious.<P>It's happened over and over again throughout history all around the world.<P>

Vince was married to Janice (I don't know her maiden name), and she was a member of the group 'Sweethearts of the Rodeo.' I notice Amy said that she did not leave her marriage because of her friendship with Vince Gill. Which is not the same as saying that she did not have an affair with him while she was married......
