What about this???

[hpnotiqpnk]

I'm married and am going through a divorce. My alleged husband is in jail for about 6 more years. I'm 24 years old. I got married when I turned 18 to spite my family who didn't approve of our relationship. God was not the center of our marriage. I married cause I was pregnant and didn't want my childen to be born out of wedlock. We have two sons together. My question is if I get married again to someone who loves God as much as I do and we have God in the center of relationship and we do things right from the jump, no premarital sex, i commit no adultry, non of that, is that a sin?

Does it matter?

Do we obey Jesus because we love him and ourselves and each other, or do we try and tick all the right boxes to get blessed or guarantee holiness?

If you and this guy love one another and genuinely know it to be right - and have friends, family, church who agree - and are divorced... then whats the problem?

IMO.

Yes.

Leaving a guy who you swore to God to stick with until one of you dies is breaking a sacred vow to God. Hooking up with another guy would make it adultery too! Don't do it lightly.

Did your husband every commit adultery? If he did you can marry again without any worry that it is adultery on your part.

I am really sorry for what you are going through. I pray God will bless you and give you peace. Know he loves you and that you are his cherished, precious daughter and he is faithful in all your circumstances.

You are going to get many different answers and understandings of scripture here. Really this is something you need to seek God on.

There is not much point getting into an arguement of scripture about it either. I have a book here that has four christian arguments on M&D (no divorce, divorce and no remarriage, divorce and remarriage if adultery by spouse, divorce and remarriage both ok) all by sincere christians who believe they have understood scripture correctly. That is the trouble with using scripture to make 'laws' in the age of grace. So any discussion like that here is likely to just go around in circles and confuse you more.

I believe that grace applies to ALL of life. That includes marriage. I find the area of marriage to be the most legalistic that people engage in. Our Father is not legalistic and neither should we be. Marriage and divorce are not the only slate that is not wiped clean by the blood of Christ. I believe that if you are divorced you are free to remarry. However as I said I suggest you pray, listen to the Spirit of Christ in you and trust him to lead you into all truth.

Bless you

Hope
