Robertson Says Wife of Cheating Husband Should be Grateful
Responding to a question from a viewer concerned about her cheating husband, Pat Robertson said that married men "have a tendency to wander" and it is the spurned wife's job "to focus on the positive and make sure the home is so enticing, he doesn't want to stray," the Huffington Post reports.
Said Robertson: "Does he provide a home for you to live in. Does he provide food for you to eat? Does he provide clothes for you to wear? Is he nice to the children... Is he handsome?"

So have the diseases cheating men bring home to their wives. They're worse now.

(65,616 posts)So if he does all those things (house, food, clothes) the woman should be his SLAVE? Can we fucking ship Pat off to the Taliban or something? He is an embarrassment to America.

Wow. Who knew he would out himself publicly!

(6,151 posts)You can bet she knows him better than anyone else does. How many women could be so blind as to claim a legitimate innocence after all these years? He may have made her a kept woman, but not w/o her knowledge and consent therefore equal guilt. She has her palace and status for now though she won't like the bill when it comes due.

(50,414 posts)"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period." (Federal News Service, Sept. 11, 1992, quoting a Robertson newsletter.)
"Why are so many marriages falling apart? Why is the divorce rate so high? ...Why is there such a tragedy in marriage?...Now the basic answer to the basic [problem of marriages today is a question of leadership. The wife actually makes the husband the head of the household and she looks to him and she says 'now you pray, and I'm going to pray for you that the Lord will speak to you." (Pat Robertson, The 700 Club, May 22, 1986.)

This women calls, asking how she can forgive her husband (wouldn't that technically be the Christian thing to do?), and this jerk makes excuses for the guy and blames her!
So much for living the faith...
