MSW's article does not make sense. MSW omits verse 17 and 18 of this passage of John's Gospel in which Jesus answers the woman saying, “You are right in saying, ‘I do not have a husband.’For you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true."  This is actually the conservatives argument. The woman is not married to this man. Jesus tells her the reality of the situation. She is not married to this man which she calls her fifth husband.
