    I live in a new mobile home. The walls are all beige, they are drywall covered with a beige vinayl. **yawn** boring I use colorful comforters etc to accent. Anyways I would love to paint, and well I was never allowed because my ex didnt want to ruin the walls for resale, I couldnt hang pictures...

    A modern day "putting away"?

    I just wanted to add a website address that may interest some. It is totalhealth.bz I have been in contact with 2 of the preachers associated with it, and one of them has been very helpful to me, and encouraged me to contact my local preacher and take it from there, which is what I have been doing.

    A modern day "putting away"?

    I think that he is doing a good thing by honoring her wishes. But he should not be in any kind of a relationship. And yes it would be better for him to divorce her, it would free him anyways. But this is the part in the vows where for better or worse comes into play. I can not see how someone...

    A modern day "putting away"?

    This is my same feelings exactly. Isnt this the kind of cruel putting away the bible is talking about. Not divorcing someone but putting them away without divorce. When I read Mathew, Mark and Luke the restrictions in the scriptures make sense when you look at putting away not being the same...

    Grounds for divorce

    Thank you also! I always felt no matter the reason for divorce, if you are divorced you are unmarried. It is impossible to be married to a person you are divorced from. You are therefore unmarried. And if you remarry you have not sinned.:)

    Grounds for divorce

    It's made dramatically more complicated by the involvement of kids. Divorce is rarely good for kids; even a bad marriage can be better for them than a divorce. Can. Not always Is. My kids are incredible. The year with only fighting was really hard on them. Although they have questions they...

    Grounds for divorce

    I have another question here :scratch: I am quite aware and understand I must leave/divorce my husband for the way he has acted. I have not sinned in that sense. Now how does one justify a remarriage? I mean isnt that where the sin comes in, it is not the divorce one is free to divorce, but...

    Grounds for divorce

    When the exception clause first was told to me (about 4 years ago) I was beside myself, I looked everywhere to find any kind of "loophole" just to be right even though at that point it wasnt because I was turning my life to God. I just wanted to do what was right period. It was a long 3 years...

    Grounds for divorce

    I am with Grishnak. Had I known the bible before I got married in the first place maybe I would have seen signs, or maybe I would have been pickier, I do not know this though, because my husband was very calm and cool and helpful and sweet and kind before marriage, we went out 5 years before...

    Question about Adultery

    Am I crazy to feel that forgiving someone for adultery would be alot easier than years of continual mental, verbal, and physcial abuse. I mean if I had a great husband in my life and he treated me good and he had an encounter or two, and he was truly sorry, I could see myself forgiving this...

    Touchy Subject

    Since lusting after a woman is in theory committing adultery then is pornography (not the casual look here and there, but hard core porn addiction) a form of adultery when it does interfer with the marriage.

    Sex question

    Sex itself isnt as pleasing as the emtional attachment. I mean the only time my husband hugged me was if he wanted sex. So if he hugged me and it was not the right time I would get completly turned off. I wanted to be touched and loved without sex to immediately follow, if it did great but I...

    ARGGH!!! What is the Truth?

    Call me naive but, depending on my age I think I would find it hard to get on with life after the "love of my life" died. There is still a bond there. And I would not want that incredible love to be replaced by something else. Altough life is a funny thing and sometimes people are blessed to...

    Question about Adultery

    Thank you. I do not mean to come here and sound confused any longer with my statements. I have studied the bible and have come to peace with myself. I like adding scenerios as to how it makes one feel with such man made restrictions put on some for divorcing for good reason.

    ARGGH!!! What is the Truth?

    All I can say is we need to follow the bible and open up our minds to the scriptures and what is really being said. We can not look at one or two verses and say thats it. Can't divorce etc. There is much more to God and the bible that we will probably ever know. If I was face to face with God...

    Question about Adultery

    Good point and that is why I continually say God knows all and sees all you can not hide anythinig from him. God knows the things that people may not be sharing, etc. But it is not for us to judge, it is for all of us to come together and make some sense of something that is so confusing that...

    Question about Adultery

    Exactly, call me naive but, in the times of the OT and NT I could see men treating woman horribily (slavery etc) and thus God wanted to protect them, Times really have not changed but I think woman/men have more legal protection now adays but situations did not change. Bad spouses still have...

    Do adulterers go to hell

    Isnt it just the divorce that is sinful if for wrong reasons according to God. But once divorce is legal it is legal in every sense. I mean being remarried is recommitting to someone but it is better than fornicating with alot of people. There are exceptions to everything and this topic is no...
