bcpianogal View Profile History	Would you marry a divorced person? Why or why not? Posted : 11 Apr, 2011 06:41 PM No, probably not. I feel that in most cases, it would be a sin for me to marry a divorced man. I'm not saying that he shouldn't have gotten divorced...there are lots of good, legitimate reasons for getting divorced. However, I believe that there are very limited "allowances" for getting remarried. Unless I felt 100% sure that the divorce was for Biblical reasons, and that the man was Biblically freed to remarry, I would not even consider him to be potential marriage material. I would also have to be sure that God's hand was on the marriage. Yes, I know that most people disagree with me on that issue. I'm not trying to offend anyone or start any arguments. I'm just answering the question! Post Reply

View Profile History	Would you marry a divorced person? Why or why not? Posted : 11 Apr, 2011 08:56 PM I dont think I could. For me, it's important my wife is a virgin as well as I am. Also, I agree that there is really very limited reasons to get divorced and I couldn't be a part of sin. Even if she was biblically divorced (adultery took place) I don't think I could. Post Reply

Posted : 12 Apr, 2011 02:14 AM I have no problem marrying a divorced or single mother, we are all humans after all and do sins and mistakes sometimes without really wanting to... it would be unfair to judge her from that side for Christian reasons and human too Post Reply
VKWV1 View Profile History	Would you marry a divorced person? Why or why not? Posted : 12 Apr, 2011 05:31 AM I'd like to add something - and just so you know where I'm coming from, I've never been married. I guess Christians who have a problem with remarriage after divorce feel that way because they believe it's adultery, and yes, it is. However, in John, Christ dealt with two women who committed adultery. They will both spend eternity with Him. In John 8:11, he told the woman that he didn't accuse her of that sin. I know there are some strong statements against divorce, but even God himself used divorce: Jer 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; ... I'm not trying to start an argument here, but it's just that I've met some divorced women who were desperately lonely, yet agonizing over the adultery aspect of remarriage. When I read the way Christ treated the adulteresses, I don't see why I should have a higher standard than Him. A preacher once said that Christ has a soft spot for adulteresses. Really, we are all adulteresses. We were meant to be the bride of Christ, yet we ran away with His arch enemy, Satan, the first chance we had. And as long as we sin, none of us are perfectly faithful to Him. Post Reply

hubbarddebra99 View Profile History	Would you marry a divorced person? Why or why not? Posted : 12 Apr, 2011 09:47 AM My first husband was abusive. He at first took simple privaliges, that all adult should have, "like pick own clothes, and friends" away from me, and then started slapping me whenever I displeased him. When he started in on our then 3 month old son for crying, I left and divorced him. My second husband I loved like crazzy, but he became very mentally ill. He is a Vietnam veteran. He has PTSD, became schophenic"sp", and violent, so I left. We eventually got divorced. He now heartbreakingly, does not know who I am. He is terrified of me. To those who condemn me: walk a mile in my shoes. Post Reply
View Profile History	Would you marry a divorced person? Why or why not? Posted : 12 Apr, 2011 01:01 PM To answer such a delicate question of that sort I would have to say no on marrying a divorced woman unless her reason for leaving the marriage was on the grounds of adultery by her spouse. People should understand the importance in until death do you part from one another which is scriptural for husband and wife. Post Reply
