1 | Stay marriaed at all costs? | 1 Cor 7:15 | Morant61 | 38865 | ||
Greetings Shelly! There are a couple of responses I would make concerning your circumstances. 1) First of all, if you are still married to this lout, get out and get some help! God does not expect you to get killed just to fulfill your marriage vows. 2) Secondy, if you are already out, it is important to note that it is God's plan for us to marry believers. To many women marry men who are not Christians, who are violent even before marriage, or who are users of addictive substances, and then wonder why God wants them to stay in such a marriage. The short answer is that God doesn't want you in such a marriage to begin with. He wants you to marry a Godly man, who will honor both you and Christ. I pray that you are safe now! If not, get help immediately! Call a local pastor and allow him to help you find the help you need! To those who are unmarried, male or female, I pray that you will carefully consider who it is whom you intend to marry. If they are violent before marriage, they will be even worse after marriage. If they are untrustworthy before marriage, they will be even worse after marriage. If the are ungodly before marriage, they will be even worse after marriage. People put their best foot forward during a dating relationship. Look at their best behavior during dating, then bring it down several notches. Would you be comfortable, happy, satisfied, or safe marrying such a person? If the answer is 'no', don't marry that person. You are only asking for trouble.! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Thank you...I needed to hear this also...you have helped me make a very important decision in my life....I have been mentally abused most of my married life...26 years...abused physically here and there...but I was always adamant about keeping the marriage together.

Greetings Peaceful! My approach is simple. I don't believe that God expects anyone to die or to be beaten to stay married! However, I do believe that marriage is important. So, without knowing you or your circumstances, I would advise you in the following manner. 1) If you life is not at risk, then try to keep your marriage together. 2) Find a good Christian marriage counselor or pastor and do everything you can to make your marriage work. Then, and only then, would I even consider divorce under any circumstances. It is impossible to really counsel someone over the internet. You really need to get some expert help! I pray that God will work in your marriage! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
