Answer to Post #18: That is not an all-around ideal situation, but such issues have to be approached sensitively on a personal case-by-case basis. So there is no general answer that fits all possible cases.
The institution of valid marriage is one of the foundations for a stable society, so efforts should be made to find compromises and heal divisive issues between a husband and wife who still have some desire or good practical reasons to stay together in a faithful marriage, especially if they already have children.
Therefore the Noahide partner in the marriage is encouraged to seek advice from a pious mentor and/or from the Rabbi of an Orthodox community before deciding to go ahead and become divorced.
