    Why are single moms wrong without knowing the situation?

    I have noticed that when a Christian single mother asks how good Christian men feel about single mothers, often times it is assumed that the single mother made a "mistake" or was a "fornicator" in which conceived the child out of wedlock....this seems to be assumed almost always from Christian...

    My Wife's Behaviour Ruined Our Christian Marriage - I don't wish to be alive

    Hi, This is a bit of a long one. I asked similar before, but began suffering depression to the point I couldn't think to answer, and I apologise. I loved my wife unconditionally, did nothing to instigate our problems. She made a lot of bad choices (details below) she has done a 180 on truly...

    Can we divorce?

    In Matt 5:31-32 ... seemed to say it's the right thing to do (in my case). But many other verses seemed to indicate one must not divorce his wife. Please share your thoughts with me as I am planning to divorce her in 2 months time. Am I doing the right thing? A little background, we are now...

    Prayer please

    I am in need of some prayer. I’m going through a separation and then a divorce. This causes me to have panic and anxiety attacks. Please pray for God to give me strength and help through this, and to take these attacks from me.

    My wife no longer wants to be married to me. For years she has been emotionally abusive. After putting up with her behavior for years while she was humiliating, manipulating and controlling me, I finally started to stand up for myself.

    Will I be forgiven

    I have been brought here by all the sin I have indulged in over the years and it was tearing me apart. I cheated on my husband with a dear friend of mine. I wanted to stop but instead of dealing with the issues in my marriage I ran to another man. A man I didn't love and every time we were...

    Married to a Narcissist, Looking at Divorce

    To start it out properly, she has been unfaithful so far as I can tell via an ongoing and intimate relationship with another man. I obviously cannot prove it, having not caught them in bed, but he is an open secret, she spends an incredible amount of time with him, and left yesterday and took...

    Orthodox View on Divorce?

    I'm a Traditional Catholic, though I was raised Novus Ordo, and I've become dissatisfied, and I'd say even disenfranchised from the Catholic Church. Most of my family isn't Catholic, and many of my friends are not as well. I've always debated with people about the Faith. Until recently, I...

    Should I divorce?

    My husband is addicted to gambling. His gambling has gotten SO bad and no matter what I do he finds new and creative ways to gamble. He has literally gambled almost every month of our marriage but now instead of gambling small money he gambles entire paychecks. I have tried everything. He was...

    My sister and I grew up as very conservative, traditional Catholics. I still am today. Recently she confessed to me that's she's been "falling out of love" with her husband, and has been seriously considering filing for divorce. They have three little girls together. She made no mention of...

    Disgusted with husband

    I am married to a pastor. We have a 5 year old and a 5 month old. We have several issues: 1. He's a pastor and I don't feel like he provides for his family the way that the Bible instructs. He only works at the church full time but it really isn't full time. He will stay up part of the night...

    Seeking Answers from G-d

    Hello brothers and sisters. I've never been in a Christian forum before but I'm here because I'm a broken man. I have sinned against G-d and seek his forgiveness and redemption. I'm not a new believer but in times past and very recently I have forsaken my G-d and it has caused me to lose all...

    Prayer Request To remarry or not to remarry? That is the momentous question

    Matthew 5:32 states very clearly that if I remarry I am an adulteress. So then does that either mean adultery can be forgiven by staying single for the rest of my life? Or can I marry another divorcee (or someone who was promiscuous but repented of those ways) and be a helper to a man's walk...

    Gay Marriage

    If you lead a gay friend to Christ who happens to be legally married to a same-sex partner...would it be a sin for them to divorce? What about remarriage in a heterosexual relationship?
