NO, fertility is NOT grounds for divorce, regardless of whether or not this fact was kept secret (seems like everyone danced around the answer). Divorce is only allowed between unequally yoked people. And then, only the unbeliever can leave the believer. (I Cor 7) This fact is actually very liberating if the believer understands that God is asking her to put the worries and stresses of the relationship at Calvary. Another issue that was raised in this discussion: are half-truths or omitted truths lying? YES, they are. But it's still not grounds for divorce. In this situation, much prayer, seeking God's help and will, and forgiveness on both sides is needed before trust may be re-established. However, trust CAN be re-established. There are still several ways in which a sterile couple may have children: adoption, foster care, and volunteering with youth programs are a few examples. According to God, the most important reason for being parents is the training of your children. God didn't say that the most important thing was to train your biological children. Finally, since you emphasized that the woman is a Christian, your message implies that the couple are unequally yoked. The main issue then, isn't the sterility, but the unequally yoked bit. If the non-Christian doesn't want to leave, the Christian needn't even think about divorce as it isn't an option if the Christian wants to remain blameless. |
