My husband was verbally, somewhat physically abusive, did mind games and since I was previously married for 39 years when my husband died he felt he should have some of my estate but what he had he wanted to leave to his 12 year old son. We are now separated. My question is will I always be married to him as long as he lives or if he divorces me at the end of a year am I free to marry or would it be adultrey? | ||||||

Good Morning Ames I Corinthians 7 may be one passage of scripture that can help you. I don't know if your husband is a believer or not but vv13-15 may help answer your question: And if any woman has an unbelieving husband and he consents to live with her, she should not leave or divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is set apart (separated, withdrawn from heathen contamination, and affiliated with the Christian people) by union with his consecrated (set-apart) wife, and the unbelieving wife is set apart and separated through union with her consecrated husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean (unblessed heathen, outside the Christian covenant), but as it is they are prepared for God [pure and clean]. But if the unbelieving partner [actually] leaves, let him do so; in such [cases the remaining] brother or sister is not morally bound. But God has called us to peace. Amp Malachi 2 may be a passage you could read also. Especially vv 14-16: Yet you ask, Why does He reject it? Because the Lord was witness [to the covenant made at your marriage] between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously and to whom you were faithless. Yet she is your companion and the wife of your covenant [made by your marriage vows]. And did not God make [you and your wife] one [flesh]? Did not One make you and preserve your spirit alive? And why [did God make you two] one? Because He sought a godly offspring [from your union]. Therefore take heed to yourselves, and let no one deal treacherously and be faithless to the wife of his youth. For the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I hate divorce and marital separation and him who covers his garment [his wife] with violence. Therefore keep a watch upon your spirit [that it may be controlled by My Spirit], that you deal not treacherously and faithlessly [with your marriage mate]. Amp Abba Father Bless you... |
