Bible Question:
My ex-wife and I have become re-engaged, Is it considered adultery to have relations before the wedding? 1 Cor. 7:10 ; Mark 10:9 ; Mal. 2:16 |
Bible Answer: One would ask, "considered adultery by whom"? Different branches of Christianity regard civil divorce in various ways. But when you originally married, you became "one flesh," according to God's word. Has the marriage covenant been broken? Or did it simply suffer a grievous blow, and is now on the mend, by God's grace? Only the two of you can answer this question. Peace, --Cheryl |
