CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Study 1 Corinthians 7. Also, love is not a choice in marriage. Ephesians 5 discusses that.

I would say it is not a sin to have sex with your spouse, but I would say it is a sin not to love him or her. Becasue the Bible tells us to be from God we are to love. Maybe you need to bring that matter before God & ask him to show you how to love your spouse.

This new idea of divorcing when the 'love' is gone is a new concept which is contrary to scripture. Hollywood love is a myth you can chase your whole life.

Ok, so basically, it's wrong for a Christian to divorce except in matters of abuse or adultery? Is that the general consensus?
I think that God love us through all of our mistakes and sometimes we may have made a mistake in our marriages. Does that mean we can never recover FROM that mistake?
Divorce is a major sin for Christians except for the above reasons?
I don't know. I'm just asking. I have been in an unhappy marriage for many years and haven't left for just those reasons. I would like to think that God loves me enough to care about how I feel, as well as how others feel who are in similar situations.
I honestly don't think that there's a simple answer in this case. I don't think that God loves someone any less if they DO get a divorce. I know that He said he hates divorce. He also understands each situation and in my saying that, I'm not making excuses to sin.
Just some 'ponderings' because of my situation

God is a God of possibility. I believe that if two people are believers, and they are married, it is not a mistake that needs correcting. God can and does work through believers all the time, growing them and changing them into His image. With marital therapy and personal discipleship, what looked like a mistake can be an awesome testimony of God's transforming power in people's lives.

My husband and I lead a Divorce Care group at our Church and we were taught and teach that Love is not a "feeling" It is a Choice.

Love comes from God, as it says in 1 John. Where God is, there is love.
Im sure others have or will discuss the basic things.
Sin is nethin done without faith, without any consideration of God. Is God a part of the kind of act you described? If not, if He doesnt approve of it, then it isnt right.

I have been divorced for 9 years, my ex wife immediately moved another man into our home, and has since been in, and currently is in at least one other "relationship" since. I myself had gotten involved with a woman, online, for a couple of years, only to have it break up due to distance, But it caused me to realize I still love my wife.
I cannot understand how we so calously divorce our love for each other, as quickly and easily as we do. If it is so impossible to do with our children, then why is it with our spouses?
(now granted at this point Reconciliation is almost entirely out of the question) I also question My justification, in dating, or remarrage, if the situation we to present itself, which in itself is a currently remote chance. My life is a shambles, but I still have the blessing of my daughter. Every day that I think I can't go on for another day alone, brings fourth yet another day, tha tI have gone on. So I say to those that are married, and think they no longer love their spouses, I say you are blessed, and do not appreciate your blessing, Examine yourself and see why your heart has grown so cold. My tribulation has brough to light my many sins against God, and my need to Repent of them, and If I never remarry, or reconcile, so be it, I have gone 9 years so far, with the worst part being that my daughter rarely sees or hears from her mother, and the rest of my pain seems to make the days pass progressively quicker, demonstrating how time is short, and we should focus on the lost (ourselves included) And not so much on the desires, and motivations of this world, but on the world to come, and Goda will fo us.
I Will pray for you
