There is so much divorce in the church anyway, I wondered what your thoughts were on the matter...

If my husband were unfaithful.. I would divorce him and ask forgiveness. I would never put up with what some women do. My sister was married to an unfaithful man for years because she was concerned what people would think.
thank God she got out of it and now has a husband that adores her,loves her children. I say GET OUT and if you feel its a sin, ask forgiveness. He is a forgiving GOD!!!

It's easy when it isn't yourself you're talking about. I know the worst thing that could have happened with my parents would have been for them to get back together. I didn't see it until I got old enough to see my parents through the eyes of an adult, but those two NEVER should have gotten married in the first place.

I asked both my parents why they got married. My mom's response was that she wanted to get away from my Grandpa and his controlling ways. My dad's response was that there was a running a bet among the young men in church over who could convince my mom to get married. Dad won the bet. Hearing their reasons for getting married probably hurt me more than anything else I've heard them say over the years. I was hoping at least one of them would say it was because they loved the other. That's the reason why I married Sister Honey Smooches, and that's the reason why I stay with her through the bad times. I love her, period.

I know where you're coming from, DT. One thread in particular came to mind that was started last week by a new member. I think it had around 15 pages of posts from people that really had no clue, but had lots of opinions.

Mark.. yes you can!!! My sister has remarried, her husband had multiple affairs,beat her and God knows what else. My sister is married to a man now that adores her, loves her children and lives a Godly life. If you feel this is a sin, God can forgive her.

St Mark was right...... she was free to leave the home but to wait for his deliverance and restore her rightful home

Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from [her] husband committeth adultery.

You know, when I was going through my divorce (it was never actually finalized), people with too much time on their hands would try to tell me that I could never get remarried again. It never made sense to me that they thought my husband could run around on me, have affairs, move in with his girlfriend & if he got back in church he could live a happily married life, but I was banned for life from marriage at the age of 25 when I had been beyond committed to my marriage.

I'm sorry that's not the kind of God I serve. I serve a God that is gracious, loving, kind and wants better things for his children then our earthly father.
