    Dating after widowhood

    Brother Lance, I believe that the scriptures teach the woman is free to choose in the Lord. So if this lady is not interested then God will not make her.

    Dating after widowhood

    I remarried a year ago. I had 3 teenagers at the time and a total of 8 children. I ended up using online dating. I found it difficult to meet single Christian men in my age group (40s) not aside from the fact my life is very busy already. Most of them would be working full time.

    Dating/Introduction Services - sinfull ?

    I was widowed and met my never before married husband on a dating site. The reality is that it is almost necessary today. In the past communities were less fragmented and perhaps Christian people made an effort to introduce you to another suitable single person? Yes there may be a sigma...

    Remarriage

    You also asked in your post about your children. Keep in contact with them and try not to let any bitterness you may have for their mother effect your relationship with them.

    It Is Well

    I think it is one day at a time. I did work hard at increasing my social contact with others. Are there Christian singles groups in your area? I don't mean for dating. I mean to meet people. It is so important to have people to talk to, especially face to face.

    Is there a place for Barbie in Christian households?

    I'm not super keen on barbies but I do believe it is an area of freedom. I prefer my daughters to have baby dolls. But I would not ban them from my home and she plays with them at preschool.

    Remarried and Hurting

    I forgot to add, you wrote God says he must NOT go back to his first wife. He has married you. You are standing in the way of him doing something very wrong. God says so. Do not have any doubts God 100% wants the 2 of you together.

    Remarried and Hurting

"We are never again permitted to return to the original spouse to renew those promises (Deuteronomy 24:1-4) so we must honor the last marriage promise made. Our remarried state is the one on which we must focus and live up to our...

    Hey guys

    That's really good advice from InnerPhyre :-) Really good advice. If I could put in my 2c worth it is always a very good idea to be honest early in the relationship about past sins. I don't mean the first date, but pretty early on.
