3. There's a difference between finding loving support
outside the marriage and abandoning one's marriage partner completely to the care of strangers out of convenience, which is what Robertson is suggesting.

The only reason for divorce in such cases has to be financial, so that the healthy spouse isn't forced to lose everything to spend down to Medicaid levels to keep the ill spouse in a nursing home during the final stages of any final illness, Alzheimer's being just one of them.

Robertson is wrong here. He's so terrified of adultery that he's willing to condone the divorce and abandonment of the "til death do you part" spouse. He's wrong because Christian morality doesn't condone either of those.
