Pat Robertson -- the 83-year-old televangelist and former Southern Baptist minister -- has advice for women who are struggling to forgive their cheating husbands: "Well, he's a man," the Alter Net website reports.
On TV's 700 Club program today (May 16, 2013), Robertson told a woman whose husband was cheating on her that she should stop focusing on the adultery and instead ponder, "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?"
After encouraging the woman to focus on the positives rather than her husband's adultery -- which Robertson imagined to be a one-night stand with a stripper in a hotel room -- he said she should "give him honor instead of trying to worry about it."
He also suggested the woman could have done more to have prevented her husband from cheating: "But recognize also, like it or not, males have a tendency to wander a little bit and what you want to do is make a home so wonderful that he doesn't want to wander."
This scenario brings back memories of former President Bill Clinton's wife Hillary forgiving him, after she learned that he had been cheating with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
