Author	Thread: Separated???????
Admin	Separated??????? Posted : 23 Aug, 2011 09:31 PM Sometimes I run across profiles where the status reads separated. I wonder how you all feel about communicating with someone that is separated? I will hold my opinion to see what others think. J G. Post Reply

song0joy View Profile History	Separated??????? Posted : 31 Aug, 2011 07:41 PM I put on my profile that I am open to friendship before anything else. If a person is separated, I am willing to communicate, but I would make it clear that I will not pursue a relationship with anyone who is currently in a committment. Single, widowed, or divorced reasonably by scripture is OK. But someone who is separated has not let go of his current comittment and is not available. Just saying: the bible is very clear about that kind of thing. Post Reply
JourneyCC View Profile History	Separated??????? Posted : 5 Sep, 2011 04:48 PM Wow, I'm surprised at the ugly heart of legalism on this.... While I agree whole heartedly it probably isn't wise to date someone that is legally married, it begs the question, what is marriage? (If it's a piece of paper, that is legalism, if it's a promise that was broken, then a piece of paper doesn't matter.......nor do I think God cares squat about the standing by the courts). I'm sure my God is much more concerned about the status of the heart :) Then I think about the husband that up and left 10 years ago and the woman has no funds to "legalize" the divorce. My guess is God has set her free.... Or the woman that chose alcoholism over her husband for years....my guess is the Lord isn't looking at a piece of paper signed by the courts, and He has set the husband free. Many gray areas, probably too many to stamp a black/white answer on.... :angel: Post Reply
Mister_Steve View Profile History	Separated??????? Posted : 9 Sep, 2011 02:26 PM Allow me as one who is "separated" to state that along with the ability to join this site and be listed as such, you are also able to persue things other than a sexual or romantic relationship. We are able to post that we are looking for "email buddy", "worship partner", and "Just friend" as well as "marriage partner". And no, just joining a site like this does not imply to any or all that there is a future romantic persuit in every connection. I was left by my wife, and I am fighting for my family and my marriage. In this fight I have lost most of my friends who just want me to "move on", and many of my family I will not talk to as they have nothing loving, or true to share. I moved here when we got married away from my family so we could be by hers and she has now left me for someone else. In the book of Hosea we learn that adultery allows for a divorce but does not require it. In Matthew Jesus Christ himself when questioned said "let no one separate what God has brought together". He goes on to show that we were allowed to divorce for specific reasons like adultery because our hearts were too hard to love and forgive. I am separated. As I state in my profile, I am looking for a friend. But I am a married man and my vows are kept despite what my wife does. If you wish for "separated" to not be allowed on this site than nothing except "marriage partner" should be allowed to be listed as what everyone is seeking on this site. It cannot be both ways.
