Marianne Gingrich, Newt Gingrich's ex-wife, revealed that Newt asked her for an open marriage or a divorce while speaking around the country about family values.

It's not the first time we've heard about a personal indiscretion from those who seem to be working hard to protect our country from breakdown of the family. I'm sure that our popular attention will now swarm around the hypocrisy, like a shark to blood.

But, I'm wondering, can we grasp this moment and talk about the real issues that cause the breakdown of families?
