Bible Question: ok..i praise God for allowing me to find this website! I am a blood redeemed child of God.I recently re-married my ex husband because we bought a home together, and we were living together in this house to raise the children together. I did not love him then and i don't now. i don't want to hurt him, so I have never told him how I really feel. I have no desire to be with him and i know that divorce is wrong (and it would kill him), but I feel so trapped, miserable,and disarrayed. i know what the bible says on forgiveness and I have forgiven him but I choose not to be with him if I had a choice. How do I handle this situation? |
Bible Answer: humbled2serve - this is a post from Hank which I believe is intended to you. I have been following the thread and this post was misdirected. Mommapbs Hank writes: Love is not an option for Christians. It is a divine command. As for marriage, Paul commanded husbands to love their wives (Eph.5:25), and wives to submit to their husbands, as to the Lord (Eph.5:22). The command to love applies to both genders, inside and outside of marriage. The Lord never commands that which we, with His assistance, cannot do. Pray and ask the Lord to help you love your husband. The kind of love that keeps a marriage alive and well is far more enduring than romantic love or sexual attraction. I know whereof I speak, having been married to one woman for more than 42 years. --Hank |
