Bible Question:
I have a question, in reference to divorce and remarry. Question: I am a mother of 3 young children. I am going through a divorce. I was involved in a sexual relatioship with another man due to the fact that my husband ignored me and sometimes got into heated violence towards me. My husband found out that I was in a relationship with another man. We have filed for divorced. I have been trying to work our relationship back to normal. Plus I still love my husband. But my husband will not accept me back. My husband is a strong christian and goes to church and even quotes me scriptures. But at the same time my husband calls me real nasty names, in front of my children. My husband keeps telling me that I must confess my sins to him, I asked him if I confess my sins to you, will you take me back. He states that he will not. I guess my question is once my divorce is final, could I ever remarry and be happy. Or am I condemed for life due to the fact of commiting adultry. Plus will God ever forgive me. I have since commited myself and my children to the baptish church. Please help me in this matter, I am afraid that I will never get to go to heaven and be with my children. |
Bible Answer: Tony: Your story is very sad. May I remind you that an affair is just the tip of the iceburg. Needs were not being met by either of you. Just as it takes two to make a marriage so hardness of heart takes two as well. Should your husband leave he has a "Biblical out", and if you were not neglected by him perhaps the problems would not have esculated to the point you cheated on him. He is only feeling his own pain, and does not see you pain. Men are insensitive at times and this is for sure one of these times. You and him need professional counseling from a solid degreed Christian counselor. As I said this is the tip of the iceburg, and I am sure you understand what I mean. All things are possible with God, it is just mans hardness of heart that does not allow healing. Restoring faith does take time. I hope you and he can take the time to heal these wounds. I think to even think about remarriage is very unwise on your part. I think you need to know you can depend on God and trust Him to keep you, NOT ANOTHER MAN! Remarriage should not even be a part of your thinking until all dors are closed, and you are emotionally and spiritually healed! That takes time, lots of time. Time better spent devoting yourself to your children, not dating for sometime to come. When I hear of someone having an affair in a marriage I wonder if the idea of a broken Covenant with God and between the two of you is seen as God see's this. You BOTH are to blame for letting this happen, but you are responsible for the acting out of your hurt in someone elses arms. The end results is failure an both of your parts. The odds of a second marriage working are cut in half again of the first marriage lasting. Better to work on what you have than to bring your problems to someone else. Blessing. justme |
