Im a christian, but Im strugglin so much with not moving on. I left an abusive marriage and have no trust for my husband. I would like to file for divorce, but know it would be a sin to date after the divorce...and yet and I feel that I will want to date..ugh...in an era of divorce and remarriage in the world...I am just struggling so much with this. I definitely could not go back to my husband though, It got scary so many times and my kids were also scared. I understand God is amazing and He can work miracles to change people, but I have so much lack of trust and lost love for my husband I just would be scared to go back. He has lied and manipulated me so often I wouldnt believe him if he told me he was a changed...
Pray to God yourself and attempt to digest the feelings you get back on your question. God wants us to be good human beings and do his works. Being a nun or a priest is not for everybody.
For Christians - divorce is permisible if a spouse commits adultery - thn it is permissible for the faithful spouse to remarry. Divorce is also permissible if the non-believing spouse has abandoned the believer.
I also feel that God has made these provisions (and others) because he is merciful! He does not want you or your children to live in fear! He gives second chances, third chances, etc. He loves you unconditionally.
But heres what I learned during my faith struggle with this over the last few months -
Even in the faith, we handle relationships wrong. We meet a person, decide we like a person, get engaged, make wedding plans, and THEN ask God if this was who we were supposed to marry and to bless the marriage.
God NEVER bound me to that man. God did everything He could to tell me to NOT get married - family, friends, church issues, counselors, pastors, financial issues, and even co-workers were sent to tell me DONT.
But I didnt listen and I dont believe God sanctified my marriage just because I went ahead and did it after He said not to. It says dont unbind what God has bound - but He didnt bind me in this.
Proof positive for me that God is ok with my divorce - the minute I left the blessings started pouring in. Within a week of leaving, I was better off financially. God moved on peoples hearts to help me rent a place, get the move in costs covered, provided transportation to my daughters school, new friends, increased my old friendships, it was AMAZING. The blessings just didnt stop. I even got 2 job offers after a year of not being able to get a job.
I had bad days, but God kept pouring more and more into my life. He walked me every step of this last three months and its at His urging that I will file the papers next week.
God openned my eyes to what was really going on in my relationship, and then He provided everything I needed to get our of their and start over. Praise God.
The bible never says it is okay to beat your wife or have multiple wives. Yes there were many men spoken of in the bible who had multiple wives and concubines - but it doesnt say that God condones this. The bible is very specific about the roles of husbands and wives and how they are to keep themselves ONLY for each other. Several chapters in proverbs deal specifically with warnings about adultery. Just because some men had more than one wife does not mean it is okay.
Hope that did not come off as holier than though - just making some clarification about what the bible says - people are fee to interpret as they choose.
Well just have to disagree. And yes, you are free to interpret as you choose.
IT IS A SIN in my church, and it also is a title that I never wanted to have, I believe Princess suits me much better...
I miss my wife and the family we had and I was left with no choice but to let go, even though I have yet to move on. I dont think I can love or trust any one else again to be honest. Even if I were in your shoes and she asked me back, I couldnt do it.
I miss the companionship, I miss the so called love, I miss the affection, and I miss the sex! But I dont miss the hurt and betrayal.
I know its not always like that with everyone, but when one does that to you, its hard to get over and forget.
Im sure Im not as spiritually aware as you are, but if I am not mistaken, the Bible does give reasons for divorce. Dont get me wrong, Ive never been an advocate for divorce.
But I tried as hard as could and Im not perfect.
I BELIEVE GOD WILL FORGIVE ME FOR THAT.
That is me and my situation. You have my prayers for guidance, direction, and peace with whatever decision you endup making.
The lithmus test is Id damn well expect my daughter to leave an abuser OR an infidel. Methinks God would want the same for his children.
On the other hand I do believe divorce is waaaaaay too easy for a lot of folks. And that just isnt right, especially if kids are involved.
