Adultery may ruin trust between husband and wife and break up families. It is contrary to the traditional marriage pronouncement derived from Matthew 19:6: "Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." It also breaks the promise that the bride and groom make to each other in virtually every form of marriage ceremony observed in the U.S.—even secular observances conducted in judge's chambers, or in vows written by the couple themselves.

Thomas Boslooper regarded Jesus as elevating the status of women when he confronted the townspeople over their plan to kill the [[woman caught in adultery]]. He suggested that whoever was without sin might cast the first stone; then he bent down and wrote something in the sand. The Bible does not record what he wrote, but some scholars have speculated that it may have identified the sins of men in the crowed. In any case, the crowd dispersed, and Jesus told the woman to "Go and sin no more."
