Alabama Governor's Wife Files for Divorce; Pair Lives Apart

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Aug 28, 2015, 2:24 PM ET

Alabama first lady Dianne Bentley has filed for divorce from Gov. Robert Bentley, saying their 50-year marriage has suffered an "irretrievable breakdown."

The complaint, filed Friday, says that attempts at reconciliation are futile and that the couple has been living apart since January.

A lawyer for Dianne Bentley wrote that her client says "there is such a complete incompatibility of temperament that the parties can no longer live together." The complaint says the couple's personalities conflict.

So the good Christian governor of Alabama, who righteously defends the Biblical sacrament of marriage, cannot possibly be getting a divorce for mere "incompatible temperaments". This must be a mistake!
