Bible Question:
My marriage is in trouble. My wife cannot trust me based upon my past sins (many years ago). I have turned from that life. Where do I look in the bible for guidance on saving my marriage and and re-establishing trust? |
Bible Answer: Dear DMTN :: From the beginnings of Genesis come these words: The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." (Genesis 2:23,24). ...... The Bible speaks of a man and his wife as one flesh joined together in holy marriage. There is always two, always a partnership, never never his or her problem or responsibility, but always a mutual sharing, a common bond, a union of mind and body. Therefore, dear friend, as much as we'd like to be able to help, we dare not attempt to do so on this Forum lest we do you and your wife more harm than good. This is simply not the proper venue nor is it the purpose of Study Bible Forum to function as a marriage counselling service. Since, as we have stated, marriage is a God-ordained partnership between a man and his wife, problems that arise within the marriage must be addressed by both husband and wife, and resolved within the framework of the partnership. To this end, therefore, it may become desirable or even necessary to go before a trusted pastor or other Christian adviser who is qualified to give counsel and skillfully lead both you and your wife to a resolution of your problems. ..... And, finally, in good times or bad, in sickness or in health, whatever may befall, it is such a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer. May good bless you and your wife. In all you both do, put Him first in your life. --Hank |
