Edward, believe me, 11 mos doesn't mean that he knew who or what he married at all. They were still newly weds still discovering each other. There is SO much that people destructively hide from the other before marriage and into marriage which should have NEVER been hid; even more so in Hollywood where this woman was VERY deeply entrenched.
Of paramount importance besides whether they are a believer in and follower of Christ, I believe, is any emotional baggage which has NOT been completely dealt with as I guarantee that it WILL eventually rear its ugly head and will hurt/interfere with/destroy the relationship. The prospective spouse should be made aware of any emotional baggage including and esp where they were an innocent victim. If they are TRULY in love it won't hurt the relationship but rather strengthen it.
INTIMACY in a relationship hinges upon honest, open sharing. If I discover that I can't trust my spouse (he or she has lied to/deceived me) intimacy is destroyed as INTIMACY by its very nature makes one vulnerable. And we all are interested in our self-preservation. Forgiveness and recovery are possible but it takes time and will and the Lord's help.
Yeah, that's true. I can not disagree with that. He must've been clueless if he couldn't keep her for more than 11 months. Now it sounds like she got infatuated with him and took him on a short ride.
