I don't think it was God's intention to create sorrow in man, but it is true that an adulterous wife is to her husband what humanity is to God when we stray from Him. My own wife divorced me citing imaginary abuse. I have no evidence that she was cheating, but to see a once sensible and logical woman become this hysterical creature will leave one to ponder: was she sincere in her insanity or was it cold and calculated?
I can't know for sure, but I believe it was calculated and she knew what she was doing bu t didn't care, this is far more painful. To know the woman who loved me could turn on and attack me with hate...and to try and figure out "how" I let this betrayal happen (why did I ever choose her? What is wrong with me?) She couldn't tear me down directly, she's not strong enough, so she leverage me against myself. That was where the true pain crept in. I think it is this for God, the devil cannot hurt God, but he can convince man to turn on God (of which man is the image of, you could almost say, we are "part" of Him in this way).
So when man chooses idols instead of God, this hurts Him in the core of who He is. This is what happens when a wife turns on her husband. In this way, it was a blessing to share in whatever small piece of pain my Creator shares in as I now understand the love He has for us all so much more. He really just wants to love us all and all He asks is our loyalty, for our own good. It's so incredibly stupidly simple, but we're little adulterous prostitutes in His eyes. But....Jesus.
