Subject: Isn't adultrey grounds for divorce? |
Bible Note: I agree completely, Teragram. Divorce is all too often done for the wrong reasons. As I replied to Justme, divorce should always be a last option, only in the case of adultery (and spousal abuse??), and that step should only be taken if the one committing the adultery is unwilling to repent and seek forgiveness. In that case I feel divorce is warranted, because (and I speak as one who has been there) it can adversely affect the faithful persons walk with Christ. Even God requires of us to repent if we are to be forgiven. I say again, though, that all effort should be made to bring a marriage back together. This is why I urge both parties to have a view toward ministering to each other. By selfless love and mutual respect, our goal should be to make our partner feel secure and worthy instead of wondering how they can make us feel that way. If we keep this attitude and maintain our hope in Christ, that He is where our true security and worth lies, the cheating problem would become almost insignificant. God Bless |
