1 | Can a woman divorce man: Ongoing porn? | Matthew | bandaid | 212565 | ||
Matt 5:27-28 Mark 10:10-12 In these verses it specifically addresses the mans right to divorce a woman under the grounds of adultery, but it does not specifically say a woman can divorce her husband. Is a woman biblically allowed the right to divorce a man under these grounds (porn as adultery) or does she have to seperate and wait for her husband to divorce her? |

Bandaid: No one can tell you what to do, and with such little information about specfically how long this has gone on, only the people involved know what is best. Jesus also said to look at a woman with lust in your heart is adultery. All sins begin in our minds or some would say the heart. Jesus also said that hardness of the heart is the cause of divorce. Either party in a marriage can seek a divorce when immorality is present. Divorce is not a requirement, it is an option, one which should be prayed over and there just is no other way. An excllent Christian film out is FIREPROOF, which is still in shows and available on DVD latter this month. I would encourage you to see it. There are many Christians who thought circumstances were beyond any hope for their marriage, and God completely healed the marriage when humanly ther was no hope. I encourage your to get help from your pastor, or a Christian Counselor. Never forget that God loves you and is always there with us. justme |

At first glance it may be easy to assume I am at the beginning of a long journey. However the opposite is the fact and without going into further personal experiences, you can rightfully go from the assumption after 5 years, every effort has been made, including the movie. I am clearly asking for scriptural references, not advice. I understand basic law, glanced scriptural text, and freewill to hardness of heart. However, despite the advice I have already heard one nagging detail has escaped my reading. In reading the scriptures, I have been unable to find any reference where WOMEN can divorce under these grounds, it clearly seems to state men as the divorcing party. I think everyone assumes it includes women, and that would be an easy road to take, however the scriptures still don't mention women as divorcing men UNLESS they are to live in adultery. I don't want to assume like everyone else. I want facts. Freewill, or spiritual strongholds (demonic oppression/possesion)? That is my next question. Can pornography lead to spritual strongholds? Can these strongholds, in this case, be broken through fasting and prayer? Or does freewill prevail? |

Bandaid, I've been reading several of your posts and I see your dilemma and I respect it. You are earnest about keeping to God's Word regardless of how difficult. Your heart is strong and your willingness to press on in difficult times (5 years) is evident. You're asking about women divorcing a man when scriptures speak the other way around. You are right that the scriptures speak in only one direction. I'll leave it to others to debate it, but your situation isn't hypothetical, it is real. If your children, or you, are not physically and sexually safe, then you need to leave. Separation isn't divorce and I don't think anyone can find any place in scripture that would force a woman and her young children to remain in an unsafe environment. Any law in the Bible is about life and peace (wholeness), not about forcing people into physical or sexual harm. In other words, if your children are abused, you have the obligation to protect them. My wife's mom did not, and it was dreadful. MJH |
