The reason for my divorce was.... My ex was cheating and getting heavy into porn. And then he started saying things sexual in reference to my 15 year old daughter and a couple coments to me about her. We went to counseling and he even admitted that he was NOT going to change and he insisted we did NOT have a problem. Found out near the end that my daughter was getting ready to run away or commit suiside because of him.

So for my sake and hers I had to. Now he is dating his best friends wife.... yep I said wife and as soon as she is divoced they are getting married. Thay serve in another church. I just Pray that he has changed and glad that he is happy.

My daughter has changed 100% for the Lord since my divorce and is now a happy teenage girl that she should be. We serve God together at church and pray and read our Bibles together.

So I believe that I was in the ok.

What do you think?

I was reading this last night...



Matt 19 KJV Jesus* Speaking to the Pharisees�

7 They said to Him, �Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?�

8 He said to them, �Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.

9 And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, Except for Sexual Immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.�

10 His disciples said to Him, �If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry.�



I see and read only( 1 ) reason to Divorce here...What is the other one the Poster is aware of ?...xo

I agree with you that love is a choice and it is a choice we must make on a daily basis. I started my marriage being romantically in love with my ex-wife; but as the years progressed I realized that the only reason I needed to be in love with her was that she was my wife. I found that romantic love (which is often fickle) gave way to relational love (which really never changes). Romantic love comes and goes; but relational love is always present. It is relational love that allows a parent to love their child no matter how the child behaves. I remember when my ex-wife told me that she didn't love me any more, though I still loved and do love her, how devastating that was. She left me for an old boyfriend; rather than staying and working things out. I have since learned the numerous lies she has told to justify her sin and yet I would accept her back if she would just repent. Her boyfriend also left his spouse to be with my ex-wife and I am sure he has told many a lie to justify such evil. It seems to me that many "christians" believe that they can simply ask God to forgive them for the breaking of their vows and (in the case of my ex-wife) believe that since they can never lose their salvation they can do whatever they want. Divorce has become too easy! Love is what is really hard.

Yup !!! In total agreement...Forgiveness of Sin is not License to continue in it...but alas...many feed the flesh and not the spirit...

Love is not a emotion as most believe...it is an Action towards an individual and Must constantly be Nurtured and Fed to continue a forward motion to achieve Unconditional Love as our LORD Jesus* has shown us...xo

Uhhhhhh, that's not the KJB, friend. Mt 19:7-9 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.---it says for fornication, not sexual impurity. Fornication and adultery are two different sins.

Are you allowed to remarry your spouse who has married another? I don't believe that's allowed. Correct me if I'm wrong.
