The Bible does permit divorce. However, Jesus identified only one acceptable reason to end a marriage, stating: "Whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication [sex outside of the marriage], and marries another commits adultery."-Matthew 19:9. God hates a deceitful, treacherous divorce. He will personally hold accountable those who frivolously leave their mate, especially when they do so with the motive of taking another partner.-Malachi 2:13-16; Mark 10:9. So it is up to the mate who has been wronged whether or not they will leave the other.

Judaism holds that adultery is one of the three worst sins a person can commit. These sins are so horrendous that a person should be willing to accept death as a punishment for not performing the sin than to perform the sin. Accordingly, Judaism as a strict set of legal doctrines does not endorse reconciliation after an act of adultery. However, every person needs to do what they believe is best for their family and particular situation.

I was married in a chapel then divorced later and my finance first marriage was in a catholic church then his wife passed Can you get married twice in a Catholic church?

The Catholic church allows remarrying as many times as possible in one condition.You are allowed remarrying if:-Your spouse (Partner) dies because there won't be any marriages and stuff like that in heaven.-You divorce for the right reasons your spouse and remarry. (See divorce conditions)You are only allowed divorcing if:-Your spouse commits adultery (Has intercourse with another woman). You can't divorce for any other reason, that is why if you are planning to marry, you should examine your spouse carefully.So did you divorce your husband for some reason either than him commiting adultery? If you did divorce for some other reason, you cannot get married again because the bible says that if you divorce and marry someone else and have intercourse, both you and your new spouse is commiting adultery.


May you live with your girlfriend while separated in the state of NC?

Any NC attorney would advise against it. There are potentially too many legal problems that can result. As long as you're still legally married, it's technically adultery. Unless the laws have changed very recently (and at one point, they were trying to change it) NC still has laws against adultery, so it's a crime (although admittedly, no one has been charged with it in many, many years). NC also allows adultery as grounds for divorce. NC divorce courts do not look fondly on those who commit adultery. The law states that if the supporting spouse commits adultery, alimony must be awarded to the dependant spouse, and if the dependant spouse commits adultery they are barred from receiving alimony (NC is the only state I know of where that's the case). NC also still allows for criminal conversation and alienation of affection lawsuits, so your spouse can sue your lover. Don't do it! I personally know a man in NC who was divorced on the grounds of adultery and his wife pretty much got everything they had, and she also gets a a nice, big alimony payment for the rest of her life (unless she remarries and she won't because then the alimony stops).
