Bible Question:
First of all, I committed adultery and have since repented completely, I thank God for his forgiveness and restoration. My issue is my wife is divorcing me, and I want to reconcile and to be the Godly husband that God has commanded me to be. When I was in the sin I did not believe that God had a plan for our marriage, but through the word and good teachings at church, I know that God does have a perfect plan for marriage and not only that he has anointed me to be that Godly husband through the Agape love in me. My wife believes because of Matt 5:31-32 that God has given her the choice to stay married to me or not to. She has chosen not to because she says that because God wants for her to be a Godly and submissive wife that this would be too hard for her and then she would be in disobediance to Gods word. I would never want her to be disobediant to God and I know that God has enough grace to help her and I through the mis-trust and fear. I just do not believe that she is standing on the right scriptures in this because everything I know about Jesus is Love, Faith, Forgiveness, and restoration. She also quoted Mark 10:12 that says if a wife divorces her husband and marries another commits adultery as a allowance for a wife to divorce. I know that if the divorce does go through she will not marry again. I also believe that if we do divorce I will not marry again either. I have looked for any other posts with this same situation and can't find any. For now I stand on my confession of faith that my wife will forgive and reconcile me. In God Mark |
Bible Answer: What God has put together let no man separate, Matt 19:6. Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding, acknowledge Him in all of your ways and He will direct your paths. My main point here is for you to trust God. He knew you were going to stumble long before you stumbled and He knew the outcome. All things work together for good...Rom. 8:28. I know it's a difficult time right at this moment, I know from experience. But I also know that God is with you right at this moment. He has you in the palm of His hand. And however it turns out, don't you think He's in control? No matter what it looks like, no matter what anybody says or does? He's in full control. He is still on the throne. Mind you, it may not end up the way you want it but know for sure it will end up in a way the will bring God the glory. You have to read this several times to get the gist of what I'm trying to say and when you get it, you'll have the peace of God in your heart. |
