Bible Question: My return question would be forgivness here. If the the cheated party still loves the cheater? If it's too much and the cheated must go so be it but if the cheater comes to his/hers senses can they remarry? |
Bible Answer: Yes, this is exceptable. But you have to understand that this type of thing cannot continue. If one spouse slips and falls into adultery and the other finds out, the adulter must come clean and admit the wrong. If they split up for a time (3-6 months) and the adulter realizes he/she has been making a mistake and desires to come back into the relationship and the other will forgive and accept them this is fine. But it really needs to be known that this kind of behavior must not happen again in the relationship because not only is it bad for the innocent party mentally but also spiritualy. If it continues then it would be best for the innocent one to divorce on the grounds of adultery and fornication and flee such a marraige. 1 Cor 7 Keep Your Marriage Vows 10 Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband. 11But even IF SHE/HE DOES DEPART, LET HER/HIM REMAIN UNMARRIED "OR BE RECONCILED TO HER/HIM HUSBAND/WIFE." And a husband is not to divorce his wife. Also if the separated party comes back together there would be no need to re marry because they were not divorced. If they were divorced then marraige would be appropriate. Raven |
