divorce

I've been attending church for a small amount of time and can't count how many people, mostly women, who felt judged and rejected by their former church family after they had a divorce. I know plenty of people have heard this before. Every Christian should know that the divorcee is accountable...

Hello, I've got two friends that are going through a divorce. The wife is the one calling the divorce because her husband has "abused" her. (I put in quotes because I'm not sure if this is actually considered abuse or not). She says that he purposely emotionally and verbally abuses her, and...

So my best friend is divorcing her husband because 1.) She hasn't been happy since the beginning. (Which I believe can be fixed.) And 2.) There are high suspicions that he is actually gay. I've had him ask me many questions throughout our friendship that I was uncomfortable answering because the...

My husband has had emotional affairs during our marriage and has physically cheated once during the dating time while in a serious committed relationship (which was disclosed to the me 9 years into our marriage). While he says he's never crossed the line physically during the marriage, there...

I am asking for prayers, please. I am currently a mess and can't handle holding on much longer. I hate to be so negative when this is destroying me. I have so much to be thankful for, and I am thankful... but my current situation is destroying me. I am so weak. I pray that God comes into my...

Link: 'What God has joined together ...' Why not just recognize that lifelong marriage is the ideal, but that the real world sometimes makes a hash of ideals, and that remarriage after a divorce often represents people doing the best they can with what they are given? I don't agree with...

Here I am One Billion Pieces With a heart made of scar tissue No one sees, but God No one feels, but Jesus No one understands, but Spirit For all the times he screamed at me For all the times he laid his hands on me or our things For all the times he was downright mean to the children For all...

I know the bible says that if a man divorces his wife and marries another, then he and that new woman are adulterers. But in this day and age, it is extremely hard not to meet someone who is divorced. Especially when you are older. Are there any exceptions? I don't want to commit adultery!

I'm glad you asked. If you look carefully at I Corinthians 7, you will see Paul first introduces the overall subject of how necessary marriage is, and how it is supposed to work, in verses 1-6. But then he says each person has his own gift from God, as pertains to marriage. And then, he...

I feel like I made a decision in marrying my husband. I believe he has a mental impairment and although he is a teacher he is slow to process information and behaves inappropriately. I have son with him who has a developmental delay which I believe he will overcome. His family doesn't like me...

Some conservative Catholics are implying that the Pope and/or certain bishops are heretical, because they seem to be opening the door in some circumstances for communing people who have divorced and remarried. Leaving aside for the moment that I view true religion as something that should...

Let me start off my saying thank you for any input and feel free to tell me as it is I'm not one to shy away from the truth. Here is my situation: I'm a young male and I thought I was marrying for the right reasons. She was a strong Christian, smart, liked to do the things I do, and a good...

Hello there :-) Need some help from my fellow divorcees please :-) My name is Dawn and I'm a Christian Life Coach...I have been divorced for a decade and have with the help of God been able to move on and develop a healthy relationship with my ex. It took some time but with Gods grace...

I need help that only God can give me, strength that I don't have, joy and peace that has been shaken, and I'm fighting fear, which is not of God. It's been a week since my wife left me. She had distanced herself from me and I confronted her and, long story short, she said that she didn't want...

Today I listened to a sermon from my senior pastor entitled When You Don’t Understand. It had to do with when you question God about how/where He's leading you, and why bad things happen. When I heard the title and the beginning which included Psalm 22, I felt this was tailor-made for me. Lately...

I messed up. I attacked my spouse and tried to dispose of him like garbage, take all the money and steal the kids. My family convinced me to be like them. They did the same evil to their spouses. I tried to convince everyone my spouse was abusive and called him so many bad names when he is...
