If Bobby thinks he is bruised now, then he needs to read about the guy in Proverbs 7:10-27 and what happened to him.
I really am hoping that Bobby Petrino can put his marriage back together. He has a clear choice between two paths. In the sermon at Fellowship Bible Church at July 24, 2011, teaching pastor Brandon Barnard made a great point about the two choices that you have. You can walk down the pathway of purity or impurity. The pathway of impurity is both persuasive and inviting.
Proverbs 5:3
English Standard Version (ESV)
3For the lips of a forbidden[a] woman drip honey,
and her speech[b] is smoother than oil,
Proverbs 6:24
English Standard Version (ESV)
24to preserve you from the evil woman,[a]
from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.[b]
Proverbs 7:10-20
English Standard Version (ESV)
10And behold, the woman meets him,
dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart.[a]
11She is loud and wayward;
her feet do not stay at home;
12now in the street, now in the market,
and at every corner she lies in wait.
13She seizes him and kisses him,
and with bold face she says to him,
14“I had to offer sacrifices,[b]
and today I have paid my vows;
15so now I have come out to meet you,
to seek you eagerly, and I have found you.
16I have spread my couch with coverings,
colored linens from Egyptian linen;
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh,
aloes, and cinnamon.
18Come, let us take our fill of love till morning;
let us delight ourselves with love.
19For my husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey;
20he took a bag of money with him;
at full moon he will come home.”

Many times men come home and hear their wife complain about something that went wrong during the day with the kids, and maybe during the same day they visited with another lady who was flirting with them. It may seem to them that the option to leave the wife and join up with this nice younger lady is a good option. However, the Bible calls her an “evil woman.” What kind of future will have with an evil woman that is not your the wife of your youth? Later in chapter 7 Solomon says, “All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast[c] 23till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life.27Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death. “
Anyone who is encouraging you to leave the wife of your youth for a younger lady is not following biblical advice.
