I am with a woman since December 2012 now and we're not married because when I met her, she was not divorced yet.
She came out from an abuse marriage. That's the reason she's not with her husband anymore.
But my intention is to marry her when the divorce is finalized.
Now, I started to go to church recently, and wonder if I should stop going to church until I finally marry her or if it is okay for me to go still?
What do you think?
Yes, you should continue to go to church. Fellowship and corporate worship should not be neglected; they are necessary "spiritual disciplines." I suspect had by been more intimately involved with men in your congregation this post wouldn't have been posted. The men in your fellowship certainly would have and should have told you not to become romantically involved with a still-married woman.
Which brings me to the more salient matter. Not only should you get yourself back into fellowship and corporate worship but the current relationship needs to be ended until her divorce is finalized and I would encourage you to reconsider it altogether. Why? Because this is a woman who has been abused and not yet healed. Because she is an adulteress (I mean that factually, not judgmentally). Because she's collaborated with the compromising of your own faith-walk. Because the likelihood of a successful relationship is low.
I'm a professional marriage counselor, GuyNad.
Statistically speaking, the long-term success rate of partners marrying who began in adultery is only 4%. Seriously. Look it up (Glass, 2003). Two other significant correlates with divorce are cohabitation and premarital sex. If these are also occurring you're stacking the deck against your own marital success.
If your partner has been abused in her marriage then she is suffering from trauma, either acute or post. He self has been compromised and it is likely dependency issues she's not even aware of are at play in your relationship so neither of you are you would be if meeting after she'd healed from the abuse.
Whatever else is going on... the answer to the question asked is, "Yes, it is okay if you go to church and you should definitely be going back to church. You should be getting connected to those in whatever congregation with whom you can share these concerns and those who can speak truth into your life." I would encourage you and your partner to pic up a copy of the book "
Boundaries," by Henry Cloud and John Townsend and read it. I would also encourage her to pick up a copy of "
Healing is a Choice," by Stephen Arterburn. "
Disciplines for the Christian Life" will serve you well, too.
