Pat robertson tells wife of cheater, 'he's a man'

Televangelist Pat Robertson is under fire once more after telling the wife of the cheating husband to conquer the infidelity and supply a much better home so he does not "wander."

Robertson was reacting to some letter from the lady recognized as Ivy throughout Wednesday's episode of "The 700 Club." Ivy authored, "We've attended counseling, but I simply cannot appear to forgive, nor can one trust. How can you forget about the anger? How can you trust again?

Robertson's co-host started to reply to the letter once the one-time Republican presidential hopeful interjected using the "secret" for you to get beyond the cheating.

"Stop speaking concerning the cheating. He scammed you. Well, he's a guy. O.K.," Robertson stated.

Robertson recommended the wife overlook the incident and concentrate on why she married her husband to begin with, counseling she attempt to fall deeply in love with him again. The televangelist folded out a number of questions for Ivy to consider.

"Does he give a home that you should reside in? Does he provide food that you should eat?" Robertson requested. "Is he handsome?"

However it was the way in which Robertson ended his response that trigger a firestorm.

"Males possess a inclination to wander a bit, and just what for you to do it result in the home so wonderful he does not wish to wander," he stated.

The Christian Broadcasting Network launched an argument, saying, "Like a initial step along the way, Dr. Robertson mentioned that they should stop dwelling around the cheating. Next, he suggested that they help remind herself of all of the reasons she fell deeply in love with him to begin with to ensure that she might attempt to fall back deeply in love with him once again."

"Lastly, his point was that everybody is human and there's much temptation outdoors of the house, so she must do whatever she will to bolster their house and relationship. His intent wasn't to condone infidelity in order to cast blame. We regret any misunderstanding," the statement came to the conclusion.

The Web continued overdrive as negative comments put in on Twitter as well as on YouTube videos from the segment. Robertson's advice triggered outrage not just from women but his fellow Christian leaders.

"I believe it's crazy. In the past, Christian believers take personal duties for the actions and immoral options and do not blame individuals on others,Inch stated Gabe Lyons, author of "The Following Christian believers."

Robertson, 83, gave an identical answer as he spoke about Gen. David Petraeus' affair with Paula Broadwell this past year.

"The man's off inside a foreign land and he's lonely and here is a good-searching lady tossing herself at him. I am talking about, he's a guy," Robertson stated with an episode of "The 700 Club."

Captured Robertson was belittled as he recommended a ladies looks may be the reason for her marital problems. Robertson told a tale in regards to a lady who requested a reverend how you can stop her husband's consuming problem.

"She was awful searching. The preacher checked out her and stated, 'Madam, basically was married for you I'd begin to drink too,'" Robertson stated.
