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: How can there be an reconciliation if there wasn't a seperation. However why reconcil when the head doesn't want to be the covering over you. Your husband has issues that must be delt with. You mention that he has control over his addiction, if this is true he'll fail. Only God has control, only through His Son Jesus that former things are put behind, and all things become new. Denial is the biggest obstacle that will prevent a recovering addict from going on to a new life in the Lord. My suggestion to you is that before you begin to deal with any other issues, that you seek Christian council, from your pastor, etc. There are many Christian support groups available. Dueteronomy 30:19 says to choose life, Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. God loves you |
