dat, I wouldn't want to simply "give my opinion" on this matter, as I think the Bible is quite clear. In general, the admonition of 1 Cor.7:10-15 would apply: "But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband(but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife. But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her. And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not send her husband away. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace." However, personally speaking, there are or could be specific situations that might warrant divorce. It is my feeling that those "circumstances" considered, divorce is ALWAYS the very last resort!

BradK, does the Bible let the Christian initiate the separation or divorce? Why do you say "there are or could be specific situations that might warrant divorce" ... when the Bible is clear? | ||||||

Searcher, Let me preface my response by saying this:My wife and I got married because we believe in marriage. We didn't get married "to try it" and divorce is NOT an option for us! I've never counseled anyone regardless of their situation or circumstances to get a divorce( and I've counseled a few). I believe that strongly in marriage. My feelings are that if you got married, you need to stick to it, tough it out and make it work:-) As scripture instructs, we should seek the godly counsel of other believers.(Prov. 19:20) However, that being said, and knowing that scripture is clear, we also need to allow for some grace. We are not perfect and do not always make the right choices or decisions. Divorce is not the unpardonable sin. I hope that clarifies my view. Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
