1 | I want my wife back | Bible general Archive 3 | markisredeemed | 157218 | ||
First of all, I committed adultery and have since repented completely, I thank God for his forgiveness and restoration. My issue is my wife is divorcing me, and I want to reconcile and to be the Godly husband that God has commanded me to be. When I was in the sin I did not believe that God had a plan for our marriage, but through the word and good teachings at church, I know that God does have a perfect plan for marriage and not only that he has anointed me to be that Godly husband through the Agape love in me. My wife believes because of Matt 5:31-32 that God has given her the choice to stay married to me or not to. She has chosen not to because she says that because God wants for her to be a Godly and submissive wife that this would be too hard for her and then she would be in disobediance to Gods word. I would never want her to be disobediant to God and I know that God has enough grace to help her and I through the mis-trust and fear. I just do not believe that she is standing on the right scriptures in this because everything I know about Jesus is Love, Faith, Forgiveness, and restoration. She also quoted Mark 10:12 that says if a wife divorces her husband and marries another commits adultery as a allowance for a wife to divorce. I know that if the divorce does go through she will not marry again. I also believe that if we do divorce I will not marry again either. I have looked for any other posts with this same situation and can't find any. For now I stand on my confession of faith that my wife will forgive and reconcile me. In God Mark |

Hi, Mark... Was there a Biblical question you wanted to ask? In Him, Doc |

I'm sorry I guess I did just tell details: In First Corr 7:10-11 is the command from the Lord in effect in my case. Is there biblical grounds for my wife not to divorce me? Also, in my situation, is she correct to divorce me based on Matt 5:31-32? Why do both of these scriptures seem to only talk about a wife committing adultery as a ground for divorce and not if the husband commits the sin? | ||||||

Dear Mark, The passage in Matthew had to do with a question regarding a writ of divorcement that was a means by which a man could divorce his wife as provided in Deut 24:1-4. The document was to protect the wife, who would have otherwise been unable to have been otherwise destitute. It was a statement of her innocence. In the passage in 1 Cor 7, Paul is addressing an issue that was only pertient because of the influence of gentile practices. (Jewish law made no provision for a wife to leave her husband.) A woman whose husband has violated the marriage vows has valid Biblical grounds for divorcing her husband. No fault will rest with such a woman for doing so. Of course, if the woman is a believer, she must forgive her husband, since the command to forgive is without exception. The behavior of the man in such a situation, if he is a believer, is the same regardless. He must live in complete compliance to his vows, until the wife remarries or passes away. The consequences of sin are always far more damaging, far more costly, and far harder to recover from than we imagine. As one of my professors says it, "Remember, sin isn't just out to hurt you... it is out to kill you!" This forum is not a place where we can offer counsel and advice. We are devoted to the study of the Bible. That said, I'm sorry I can't offer more encouragement for you. You might do very well to take the course at www.settingcaptivesfree.com It will help you to understand what is required of us in a walk of holiness. We are obligated and required to so walk, even if God does not choose to restore the things we've lost through sin. In Him, Doc |
