To Jenny - I wonder if you realize that the story you are reading seems to be based on the book of Hosea in the Old Testament. God commands Hosea to take an adulterous wife. So he marries Gomer, a prostitute, probably from a fertility cult. Why would God do that? The story is an allegory. Gomer symbolizes the adulterous Israel who has turned away from her loving God. This adultery is overcome by God's unrelenting love for her chosen people, Israel. Just as Gomer's adultery is overcome by the uncondirional love of Hosea.
