Bible Note: Rowdy: I read with interest that Emmy's "biggest tradjedy is that you wont be able to remarry if you find you must leave your husband." Rowdy is this really her biggest trajedy? I would hope this would be her least of all the problems she faces. Generally most people are not thinking a bout marring someone else while trying to get their marriage some help. Many counselors are quick to say the "D" word, and may not have the Christian training to guide a couple into reconcillation. I know of couples who have endured many problems in their marriage for decades, because the Christian values demanded they stay and work hard with the love they had. That kind of covenant marriage is what the LORD expects, at least that's my understanding of Scripture. This example is why I think like EdB there is not much help on a Forum for serious marriage problems, and we are better off to refer them to professional Christian help. Blessings. justme |
