What do you mean "which spouse they would like to keep?"
In the Old Testament, it was forbidden to go back to a previous spouse after marrying another one. E.g., wife #1 becomes permanently off limits, after you take on wife #2.
I'm of the opinion that you should be committed to the marriage you are currently IN.

Amen, i would think the current marriage would take priority. And as for intentionally backsliding................we need the fear of God!!

Straightforward question for you...
Have you talked to your pastor about this?

All4one,
Is there any scripture for leaving a current wife to return to a former one?
As for a pastor's input...it's good to get an objective, third party's point of view.
I think there are pertinent scriptures, but if this is a real situation, then you shouldn't be looking for answers online.

This question makes my head hurt though. What you're really asking is...can a person who doesn't want to be married any more decide to play an act of backsliding and leave the church in order to get a divorce, with the intention of coming back after remarrying someone they've presumibly already chosen.
In that case, the divorce/remarriage isn't even the real issue. A problem, but a symptom not the cause.
