Bible Question: 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? |
Bible Answer: I am not an expert in this area of marriage but can only refer you to Matthew 19:4-12 as a guide and you will need to pray together about this as God answers prayer. From past experience of others, including my own family, who remarried after being divorced, once there is a rift it takes a lot of courage and prayer to heal the relationship. Have you considered seeking the counseling of your pastor or a Christian Counsellor ? It's really good that your husband goes to church with you. Is he a believer in Jesus and does he read God's Word? Is your relationship such that you can talk openly with him about his faith and how he feels about God and also about you and him and your futures together ? I hope my answer has helped ? You know that Jesus loves you both. Jesus bears our burdons, Ken John. |
