Bible Question: i would like to know , if someone had to have commited adultary in there marriage, and after a while told the partner and there was forgiveness,and acountability also played a part, and both husband and wife worked through the mess and things are back to normal again and God is still first in there lives and a lesson has been learned. is the covernant between husband and wife now brocken? and if so do they need to re-commit there lives to each other again by means of a vow, in other words do they need to get married again and re-commit there lives to each other and befor God promise to be fauithful to one another till death do them part, you know, like a back slidden christian who recommits his life to the Lord agian. or is a heart felt prayer with both husband and wife alone before God enough, as they together pray and re-commit there live before God almighty and make new and fresh vows? |
Bible Answer: Answers, I would think the covenant was broken by the adultery, but restored by the repentance and reconciliation of the husband and wife. I do not think you need to get married again. But I understand your feelings in this matter. One of the practical benefits of the sacrament of Reconciliation or Confession for Catholics is that it can bring closure and a word of forgiveness and a sense of restoration from God through the Church and those who minister in it in these kind of situations. You may find it helpful to consult with a minister from your Church on this matter. Emmaus |
