AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 19:9 "I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery." |
Subject: Divorce for no sexual life ever - OK? |
Bible Note: Emmaus: Makes sense to me. The Bible does give grounds for divorce. But divorce implies the existence of a marriage. And if, in fact, no valid marriage occurred, then terminating the [non-sexual, non-marital] relationship would not be the same as getting a divorce. Divorce is not merely separation from bed and board, but is a dissolution of the marriage bond just as though it had never existed. And where the marriage has never been consummated and is based on a lie, the marriage bond never actually existed, as I understand it. Anyone who believes the Catholic church is permissive when it comes to divorce just doesn't know the Catholic church. Grace to you, Kalos |
