07-02-2008, 5:41 PM munah03 Joined on 07-03-2008 Posts 1 Christians and divorce I am currently in a relationship with a man who is currently divorced and is also a christian. While he wanted to save his marriage his wife insisted on filing for divorce. She is also a christian, there was no adultry or abuse in the marriage, it was more of a battle of control which she had with him until he put his foot down. She went as far as moving to another state with their son and has stopped all communication. I was skeptical of this story until I found out for myself through her family. I guess what I want to know is if it's right to date and possibly marry this man and not be considered an adultress because of the grounds of their divorce. They were both christians and their divorce was not based on adultry or the unbeliever walking away. I want to do what is right in the eyes of God. Please help me to find biblical answers to this problem.    Report

Now you need to pray and allow God to give you the wisdom in this situation. I wouldn't get too emotionally involved in the man his wife situation because it could blind side you in a way you can't hear God clearly. Be their, if God permits, for him but don't over do it. Don't be so anxious to jump into relationship but take it slow and hear God. You don't want their situation to backfire on you. Circumstances like this, healing needs to take place.    Report

A christian woman will NOT divorce a great husband. She will NOT divorce a husband who is laying down his life for her as the scriptures command. The husband lays down his life for his wife. The wife is not commanded by scripture to follow her husband into obedience like a little puppy dog. Be warned! Until you speak with this mans former wife you do not know what she really went through being married to him.    Report

I have remarried for 12 years now and I am very happilly in love with my wife, my present wife and I are wonderfully involved in ministrie, so it's possible, if you are worried about your standing with God then you should be concerned about your relationship with the Lord, I would hate to think that after all these years of trying to do it right when it is all said and done the Lord will look at you and say I never know you. it sounds as if he needs to seek the Lord in his personal relationship so he can represent the Lord adiquitly, and wash you with the washing of the word, and prerelationship councel from your church elders is a good idea, you can't tarnish what is already tarnished, so concider that the said seek me while I may be found and I will make myself found by you.    Report
