1 | Should we Divorce? | Mal 2:16 | pricefhome | 31035 | ||
I recently met with someone claiming to have the gift of prophecy. He has many years in the ministry. This was the first time we had ever met. A friend had introduced us… He was very direct and came right out and told me that my wife and I should divorce. That God had never ordained our marriage…that we were married in sin, living together before getting married. That God would not bless sin and therefore could not bless our marriage. My wife has held this same position for over two years now…I haven't mentioned anything to her about this individual's view point. She has been asking for a divorce for over two years now. We lost our third son a few days after his birth, due to a birth defect and shortly after that she approached me for a divorce. I am searching for the Lord's direction here; we have two small children now and I have not loved my wife for many years. We have a dysfunctional relationship struggling to survive. I also come from a dysfunctional family. I am look for Truth!!! |

2 | Should we Divorce? | Mal 2:16 | Makarios | 31036 | ||
Greetings, pricefhome! The truth of the matter is, the Lord hates divorce (Mal. 2:16)! I believe that 1 Corinthians 7:10-13, Mark 10:2-9 and 1 Cor. 7:27 all have a lot to say about divorce, and I believe that this is something that God's people should not seek! Why should you and your wife go through something that you will always regret? I have also been through divorce (as a child), and I saw firsthand the damage that it has caused my family and the immeasurable pain that my parents continue to go through. I will pray for you and your situation, and I am an optimist, regardless of how bleak it looks.. Even if you were married in sin, nothing is a mistake, my friend! Everything is known to the Lord, and if you are saved, then all things work to the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28)! So my prayer is that you will be able to "resurrect" your marriage so that the Lord will be able to guide you and your wife to a greater maturity and to a deeper and longer lasting love for each other! Your marriage was not a mistake, my friend! And the Lord can bring you back together again. Have you sought the help of your pastor? In conclusion, I would impart Ephesians 5:22-6:4 to you, so that you and your wife could re-commit yourselves to each other, and to read the Bible together. The Lord hates divorce, and it must bring Him pain to see it so rampant among His people. Blessings to you, Nolan |

3 | I'm still un-clear... | Mal 2:16 | pricefhome | 31071 | ||
I understand that God hates divorce but God himself divorced Israel… There is a difference in a situation were two non believers are married and one starts to follow Christ and the other wants to leave…let him/her leave. I want the Lord's favor on myself and my children. They are in a dysfunctional environment at this time and divorce could free them from that. I have held the position that my faithfulness and obedience has sanctified my family..but I'm starting to wonder about that! Also, my wife in many ways has already left this family. She refuses to go to church with the boys and I. She refuses to wear her wedding ring. She does very little of the house work or child care…maybe 10 percent. She has shut down and needs professional help but we can't afford it. We havn't slept together in over two years. Some believe that this is justifiable grounds for divorce... I want the Lords favor…his ways are much broader and deeper than ours and I simply want to know what's best! Thanks for your kind words! |

Scripture ... Jer 3:8; Mal 2:16; Eph 5:22-33; 1 Cor 7:12-16 ... pricefhome ... Greetings. God did divorce Israel (Jer 3:8); but, that doesn't justify us getting a divorce. He still hates it (Mal 2:16) as you pointed out. Until your wife has phyiscally left the family and SHE has filed for divorced, she has not left and you are bound (1 Cor 7:12-16). You still must love your wife unconditionally (Eph 5:22-33), which is hard for you to do. Her actions or nonactions should not change yor love for her. Doing this may win her for Chirst. Searcher |
