Bible Question: Is either husband or wife free to date another person while they are separated? Would this be adultrey? Does God allow divorce when you marry a controller, who is abusive, verbally, physically, mentally and doesn't want to leave you anything when he dies but wants you to leave him a car, lifetime estate to the house, and money to take care of it. His whole marriage proposal was about what I would give him and he said he had nothing to give me but that he was giving me himself. Well I was also giving him myself. He had a 12 year old and has led a real bad life and I was wife #4. I was married 39 years and my husband died. |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... 1 Corintnians 7 ... ames, greetings. I believe your question has been answered. You are not free to date before the divorce ... you are seeking to loose the bonds and the divorce may not happen Only if the non-Christian leaves and seeks the divorce, and the divorce is FINAL ... is the time the Christian is no longer bound.
