Well, considering the treatment of women in the Bible, it's no wonder she ditched him a long time ago. You can only imagine how much she got in alimony.
Of course the only wife, it the bride of Christ, and that is the church.
Unfortunately, going to the Bible leaves out what was edited out of the Bible. So you kind of have to go to another source to figure out what's been left out.

Christian is defined as anyone who believes in Christ. Hence Christian. Mormons believe in Christ. So they're Christian.

What do Mormons believe about Jesus Christ? Do Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God?
Jesus Christ is the literal Son of God. His birth, life, death, and resurrection fulfilled the many prophecies contained in the scriptures concerning the coming of a Savior. He was the Creator, He is our Savior, and He will be our Judge (see Isaiah 9:6, 53:3-7; Psalms 22:16-18).
Under the direction of our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ created the earth (John 1:10; Hebrews 1:2).
When Jesus lived on the earth (approximately 2,000 years ago), He led a perfect life. He taught by word and example how people should live in love of God and others.
Through His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and by giving His life on the cross—that is, by performing the Atonement —Jesus Christ saves us from our sins (1 Peter 2:21) as we follow Him. Because of the Atonement, you can be forgiven of your sins when you sincerely repent (Book of Mormon, Mosiah 26:30).
Through His Resurrection, Jesus Christ saved us from death. Because He overcame death, we will all be given the gift of resurrection, that is to say our spirits will be eternally re-united with our bodies (Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians 15:22). When life on this earth is over, Jesus Christ will be the final Judge (Acts 17:31; John 5:21-22; Acts 10:42).

Sounds pretty Christian to me.
It was a dig at christians who specify that other people who believe something different, are not 'real' christians.
