1 | can the abused wife (spouse) remarry? | 1 Cor 7:15 | bobbiejean | 15983 | ||
I have heard many say that an abused wife is not required to stay with her abusing husband. Of that I am grateful, for I am one. However, I was a believer when I married him, and a believer when I divorced him. But now I have met a believing man - abandoned and divorced by his first wife. We wish to marry. But there are those who rejoice in our happiness and those who condemn it. Can the abused wife (spouse) remarry? |

Bobbiejean, I disagree with my friend and brother, Charis. People will eventually get the answers they want, if they ask enough. You, both need to decide what God wants. This verse has two conditions: the spouse has to be an unbeliever; they are the one who leaves. So for both of you ... 1. Was your spouse an unbeliever? What do (did) they say, not the opinion of others, including yourself? 2. Are they the one who left, including filing for divorce? If both of you cannot say YES to both questions, this verse says you may NOT marry. While I am sad because you were abused, it is not grounds for divorce. I would move out and go to counseling with my spouse ... and get the law involved, if needed. I will pray you all do what God wants, Steve |

Searcher56, I completely disagree with you. It is a novel idea you have there, to just "get counseling with your spouse." New idea...I'll have to try that! If a man is hard hearted enough to hit a woman, do you really think he is just going to say "OK...I know I have a problem honey, lets all go to counseling." It's not that easy. If he had been that easy to deal with I could have stayed with him. :) To say that a Chrisitan wife of an abusive (CHRISTIAN)husband has to be punished for the rest of her life by being made to be single, is quite contrary to God's nature. I don't think God wants us to suffer because someone else CHOOSES to live a sinful life. |

Supply Scriptural support for saying "To say that a Chrisitan wife of an abusive (CHRISTIAN)husband has to be punished for the rest of her life by being made to be single, is quite contrary to God's nature." ... How is one punished for being single? ... How is it contrary to God's nature? "I don't think God wants us to suffer because someone else CHOOSES to live a sinful life." ... Do you remember the result of David's sin with Bathsheba ... and his counting the troops. HIS sin had a big impact on others. ... How does one suffer people of other's sin not Biblical? |

I just want to address suffering.In Romans 8:17 the idea of suffering and sharing whith Christ' glory is an area of scripture you might like to study. I have found that verse and Romans 8:29 helpfull in undrestanding my suffering better. C. S. Lewis wrote a lot about suffering. I believe Lewis said something like suffering is Gods way of getting the our attention. As for your abusive spouse what makes you believe he is a born again Christian? What kind of abuse are you talking about? There are laws, and police, that are there to protect you. There are womens safe houses if you are in danger. You should make your pastor aware of this and see what wisdom he has. Nothing is Impossible with God! We are praying for you. |
