In theory, this is great, but in practicality, it doesn't always work like
this.

The pastor cannot always control his OWN tongue...how much LESS control
will he have over somoene else's tongue.

True, but many times the adversary gets into marriages (happens all the time)
and that unity is broken...even if it is a pastor and wife.

True, and there will be a lot of pastor's wives in the lake of fire, and the
WILL
be a LOT OF PASTORS in the lake of fire.

Not only that, but even if the wife does repent, the damage has already been
wrought, and is most likely irreversible...

Much easier said than done...especially when you've been hurt.
