I've searched the handbook and I can't find this no divorce requirement. Is it on the Bishop Recommendation form?

I should note that one of my childhood bishops cheated on his wife shortly after they were first married (long before he became a bishop). I don't know what disciplinary action was taken at the time, but they remain married today.

And yes, I'm aware of the Timothy "husband of one wife" Biblical citation.
