1 | Should We Get Married Again? | Heb 13:4 | A_B | 55472 | ||
I was married 23 years ago. Two years ago after my husband had a terrible addiction problem, and serveral attempts of reconstructing our marriage, we divorced. After a serious accident that envolved our daughter we are back together again. I remained faithful during our separation, however I'm not sure about him. Should we get married again? I'm very confused about this and need some biblical advice. I've searched the scriptures, however, I find varried things about divorce and marriage. Also, He will go to church with me, but reruses to do devotions with me. I really want us to be close in the Lord, and I know that through him is the only way for it to work. He says that I am trying to put demands on him by asking him to do this? He has control over his addiction, and seems to be trying. He was saved several years ago, but says he has problems with guilt. Please help? | ||||||
2 | Should We Get Married Again? | Heb 13:4 | Timothy Paul | 55473 | ||
Hi A B and welcome :o) It is terribly sad that the enemy succeeded in tearing apart your marriage after such a long time together. Ecc 4:12 relates, "And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken" (The third member in the cord of course is Jesus). While God hates divorce(Mal 2:16), He still loves the divorced. The reason that I feel He hates divorce is because of the sin that we are tempted into committing after the seperation. -okay, ONE of the reasons anyway. I hope your daughter is well and feel bad that it took a tragedy to draw you two to consider reconciliation. If your husband refuses to do devotions w/you, you should respect his feelings and give it time for his reasons to surface. After all, do you want him to do this w/you unwillingly? Matt. 6:6, "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." Being a divorced addict, I can sympathize w/your dilemna. After being saved and teaching my ex about the biblical view of divorce, she accepted a ring from me but that did not last either. This time I feel her pride kept her from respecting me enough to accept my past failures, but that would only be a part of it so I won't give you a one sided story. It is well that you two go to church together so for now I would suggest you trust in Jesus to send you the Counsel of the Holy Spirit, remember the fruit of the Spirit (Eph. 5:9; Gal. 5:22, -notice the word fruit is singular, not plural) Also, memorize (and try your best to practice 1Cor 13:4-5): "4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. I sincerely hope I have given some useful biblical advice here, there is lots more where that came from. Bless God and God bless. Tim |

3 | Should We Get Married Again? | Heb 13:4 | Ken John | 55628 | ||
Hello AB, I have been following your question about marriage and agree with what Tim has advised you. It is difficult to resolve these matters oneself with out placing EVERYTHING in God's Hands. Remember He is in control of all things and even Jesus asked His Father in Heaven when He needed help. I have been married for forty years but only because I placed my one time troubled marriage in Jesus' Care. I forgave my wife for her unfaithfulness because as a sinner myself how could I caste stones. As believers in Jesus Christ we have to set the example. It can be very tough as I have experienced over the many years of married life but in the end you will be rewarded. Please read 1 Corinthians 7:1-39 where Paul writes about marriage. I was particularly interested in verses 13-17. I hope this will be a help to you. AB please let Jesus handle your problem. Pray to him in earnest and keep asking Him for His help. Don't try to solve things yourself. Take each day at a time and PRAY. God answers prayer but in His Time so be patient. May God Bless you AB and please keep in touch with the brothers and sisters in Christ who want to help you as best we can through Jesus. In His Love, Ken John. |
