In this discussion William LePar’s spiritual source, The Council, covers many aspects of the disillusionment of a marriage

Questioner:  If you have made this commitment to another individual and then in the physical you follow it through and the couple is married and then for some reason the marriage is dissolved, how does that affect those individuals?

The Council:  It would depend on the reason for it being dissolved.  Boy, does the minds click at that!

Q:  What if it were infidelity?

C:  A one-time situation?

Q:  Yes.

C:  No, that would not be sufficient grounds to dissolve the physical marriage.

Q:  All right.  What if it were physical abuse?

C:  If it rendered the other individual in a situation of danger, that would be grounds for a separation, yes.

Q:  What if it were a difference in beliefs?

C:  Hardly.  Just because one believes in one idea and another believes in another idea, there should be a respect for each other's belief.  With proper courtship, opinions and ideas on important subjects should have been covered prior to the marriage or to the commitment. You must accept the other individual as they are.  It is not proper for you to expect to be able to change your mate to suit your whims.  You must love enough to accept that individual as they are, with the exception of brutality. Now, if a person, by nature, is brutal, and they have managed to cover this element up and you become committed to that individual, once they begin to practice their abuse against you where you are physically in danger, then that nullifies the commitment, not on your part, but on the part of the abuser.  So, they must then assume the full responsibility for the destruction of the commitment or the spiritual contract.  Again, did the other individual who was being abused instigate the situation?  Did that individual know of this element in the personality?  If so, did that individual do anything to excite that negative aspect or activate that negative aspect?  Do you understand?

Q:  Yes.  If the individual did do something, if the individual did know about the aspect of that person's personality and did do something to incite that brutality, then would that individual       share an equal blame?

C:  Yes.  You see, when it comes to situations like that, you have the ego involved and once the egos become involved there is the clash of the titans, let us put it that way.  "I dare you.  You dare me," and the stronger will win.  The weaker will be crushed. This is a situation that would not, say, an individual has the right to end a commitment.  What is necessary there in that situation is that both egos must be subdued and the situation must be reevaluated and take means necessary to eliminate that type of action.  Does that answer the question?

Q:  Yes, it does.

C:  It becomes complicated, doesn't it?

C:  Yes.
