1 | relations after divorce? | Matt 19:5 | LuckyCharm | 44731 | ||
One would ask, "considered adultery by whom"? Different branches of Christianity regard civil divorce in various ways. But when you originally married, you became "one flesh," according to God's word. Has the marriage covenant been broken? Or did it simply suffer a grievous blow, and is now on the mend, by God's grace? Only the two of you can answer this question. Peace, --Cheryl |

Cheryl, thank-you, that would be adultery as considered by God. after 19 years of divorce and living apart, I became a Christian and now 'Za' wants to as well, and we are engaged. however she says it would "ruin everything" if we were to follow my wishes, that it would amount to fornication. this is driving us apart like a wedge and I cannot find anything in God's word to clear this up.Is it fornication or adultery or neither between divorce and remarriage? we are both trying to not offend God or anyone else with our recommitment. |

I can well understand and sympathize with your dilemma here. However, your former wife apparently has some conscientious objections to engaging in marital relations before the wedding, and I think those ought to be respected out of love. Paul, in discussing eating questionable food, in 1 Cor 8, says "Be careful, however, that the exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak... When you sin against your brothers in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ." Your former wife may have reasons in her own mind for not engaging in sexual relations before the wedding. Some of these may even be practical considerations, we just don't know. In any case, pressuring her against her convictions would not be consistent with true love, IMO. Be strong, --Cheryl |
