Weird question but I just got to make sure..... I divorced my ex wife because of adultery. Some time after the divorce, she got into drugs and died of overdose. Her half-sister's sister-in law has taken an interest in me. Am I allowed to date her or is that like dating family? That is, can I...

Weird question but I just got to make sure..... I divorced my ex wife because of adultery. Some time after the divorce, she got into drugs and died of overdose. Her half-sister's sister-in law has taken an interest in me. Am I allowed to date her or is that like dating family? That is...

It's official now. We are divorcing for sure.

Well it's official now. We are divorcing for sure.

I understand. And of course I want to be obedient to God and be married to a believer. When I met her, I thought she was a believer. But later on I found out she is not, and that I was fooled in the beginning. So now that I'm stuck in the marriage, I can accept it if she is not a believer...

Does anyone know what kind of factors go into play when a judge considers alimony? We have been married for 3 years. I have three kids from previous marriage, she has two from previous marriage, and we have none together. I'll probably get stuck paying her car payment, cus I don't want her...

Aibrean, sorry if I blasted you; I just don't think you have the full picture on what's going on here. I appreciate your input, but with respect, I don't think it's completely right for the situation. Thanks D

Back off aibrean, I made a mistake marrying her. I Know that. What I meant here was that I am willing to dwell with her as long as she is willing to dwell with me like a wife, whether she's a believer or not. I have accepted my mistake in marrying her, and I am not looking to get out because...

I am perfectly ok with being married to a non-Christian. That's not the point. This person does not respect me, seeks every chance to undermine my authority in the house, has shut down as a mother and wife, and tries daily to provoke me to anger and fight with me. This person told me to my...

Please pray for me and my marriage. My spouse is unsaved, and the marriage has been breaking down horribly since the summer. It is clear that I am the only saved one in the pair. I have three kids from my first wife, a Godly woman who passed away for no apparent reason in 2005. My current wife...

With respect, quasicentenial, I don't think that's the advice we need. When our marriage was good, and even when bad, we had no problems doing our finances. this is a very recent development, that she has decided to in my mind steal money from the budget and hoard it, for whatever reason I...

I wish the Lord blessed us soon...cus it's till pretty ugly at my house. She puts forth NO effort at all; says she wants to be civil and not fight, yet attacks me on so many occasions, and I'm not doing anything wrong except going above and beyond to parent the kids and run the house. All she...

Ok it's time to request more advice. I stated that my wife threatened to take $400 out of each paycheck and hoard it for herself, while continuing to tap the joint checking account for her minor incidentals. I gave her several days to cool off, and then made an apology and several humble...

I'm not going to do anything hasty, as long as things in the house are peaceful. She is trying to retreat and be peaceful, and only gets nasty when we try to talk and it doesn't go in her favor. She also sometimes tries to pick little fights with me, which I don't respond to....I don't give...

Things really ugly here....not improving at all. She is so lost and does not know what she wants. She has no direction, and no comfort from the Lord like I have. Splitting up seems imminent. And she still thinks that I am most of the problem. It's really quite sad. She's doing to lose...
