How does the bible relate to a woman who is divorced but not by choice he left you to marry another now you are married and you are living a God loving household?

Answer 1

ANSWERThe Bible clearly says remain single or be reconciled to your covenant partner. If your husband has remarried, that still applies until he is dead. However, if you were not a Christian until your current marriage,you are to remain in this relationship, now that you know the truth. When people are married, they make a vow, a covenant with God. It is not to be broken, it is forever till death do you part. Many think the Bible says it is alright to remarry if adultry occurs with the other partner, but in the Bible it is fornication, which is different than adultry. Many dismiss this because they don't want to be held to it, but it is what God asks. If more estranged partners would really commit to praying and stand in the gap for reconcilation, more marriages would be restored. Remember the right road is narrow and few take it, but the rewards are great.

The Bible also said that others stoned women who looked at other men or betrayed her husband. However, I believe God doesn't expect any woman to stay in a physically/mentally abusive relationship. If children are involved it is actually up to both parents to protect them with everything they have (a sin against God if you don't) so, that leaves a wide berth as to when one should leave their wife or husband. I am a Christian, my first husband was an abusive man and I remarried several years later and believe me, I did a lot of soul searching. I must have done something right because I have been married to my second husband for 34 wonderful years.
