Posted : 6 Nov, 2020 10:13 AM I heard it discussed in different settings for years and again on “Ask A Girl” here. Some polls indicate “Christians” are now divorcing at a rate higher than non-believers. Post Reply

LittleDavid View Profile History	Is “we just drifted apart” a Biblical reason for divorce? Posted : 6 Nov, 2020 02:33 PM Good question. No, not for that reason only. I’m not suggesting there are not any good reasons for divorce. Unfortunately, too many “Christians” couples don’t want a fix. When their “love goes away”, they just wanna take the easy way and find someone new and start over. Marriage is very rough road test. It’s not only the best way to verify genuine love but it’s the best way to prove false love. True love never goes away. But lets suppose a person is married to an abusive jerk (male or female). Separation (if necessary for safety) and counseling would be a good start to repairing a marriage. But some jerks don’t like counseling because they don’t like being accountable. Unfortunately it’s just easier to give up on the marriage, run away and get another partner. If that happens, the person wronged can remarry. I had a couple of friends who both refused to work on their marriage. Didn’t take long for the husband to run away because he didn’t like being accountable for his foolish words and actions. Even though wronged, he decided the wrong done justified his irresponsible actions. For a while longer, the wife, who was equally irresponsible, appeared willing to save the marriage. Then the she was caught in a string of lying. When asked to give account for the conflicting accounts, she decided to run away too. Perhaps my friends may repent. But if they never do, it’s probable they were never real Christians. See 1 John 2 1My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. Love and Hatred for Fellow Believers 3We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 4Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 5But if anyone obeys his word, love for God a is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: 6Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. 7Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. 8Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining. 9Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister b is still in the darkness. 10Anyone who loves their brother and sister c lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. 11But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them. 18Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. >>>19They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.<<< Post Reply

Moonlight7 View Profile History	Is “we just drifted apart” a Biblical reason for divorce? Posted : 6 Nov, 2020 03:07 PM Many people don't marry for live, that's the First mistake in getting into a marriage. They marry for other personal reasons. Christian women oftentimes marry non believers. That could work but the Bible teaches against being unequally yoked. Matthew 19:9 1Corinthians 7:15 Nash Sexual sin or abandonment are the biblical reasons for divorce. Many people not Christians may not be concerned about what Bible teaches. Post Reply

Posted : 6 Nov, 2020 07:27 PM Moon writes - ‘If you are divorced you should put your status as divorced not single. Many men on here put single.’ This is a Christian forum and 'divorced' is just a glorified man-made name for 'separation' and none of those words excuses anyone for ‘remarriage' because they are not single, their spouse is still alive! Any serious Bible study knows that. These men and women are deceptive therefore in claiming they are single while their spouse is still alive! They are still married then!!! That would be a 'practicing' sin, right Moon? Post Reply
