What I was attempting to convey in my post was that any action Church leaders take on an individuals membership, will undoubtedly be influenced by who the individual is. Personally, I have examined my life many times and I know that I have a clear knowledge of the covenants I have made. Using the word "excuses", may have been a poor choice of words, but, I cannot imagine any circumstances that could lead me to commit adultery, that would be considered by a disciplinary council and cause them to render a decision other than excommunication.

What if your wife were to be incapacitated in such a way, whether physically or mentally, you 1) could not meaningfully communicate with her, and 2) could not have sexual relations with her.
I'm sure you would be up to this challenge, but you never know what temptation might set upon you 30 years into the ordeal.
