Bible Question (short): Moral marital question |
Question (full): Please help me, I am in a moral dilema about divorce. Here it is in a nutshell. My wife of 11 years had an affair 18 months ago and is completely unrepentant. She is bent on filing and taking our 3 kids with her to a town 75 miles away from all of their support. I am the primary caregiver of our house and just cannot bear the thought of seeing my kids grow up in a house that has mom living in full rebelion to God. Recently we went before the pastor of our church and he asked her if there was any hope. She said no. He told her that there would be consequences to her actions and she said fine. I asked my lawyer what I can do to keep her from removing the kids and cleaning out our house. He said all I can do is file for a divorce on her. I talked to my pastor about doing this and he says that I have the biblical right. I talked to another pastor and he tells me it need to be an ongoing affair to be a biblical right. I am torn between doing what really wants of me. I dont know. I need to protect my kids but I dont want to displease God. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. thank you. |
