Maybe she likes her privacy. Or maybe they never even really got married.
No ceremony, no pictures of just the two of them. A major event like that would have to have had some wonderful pictures taken to show for it. Especially with all their bad press lately, you can be sure they would want to use such "re-wedding" pictures if they had them!
You never see them "just as a couple" any where. "Privacy" is an invalid excuse if you are married to a pastor. The Lord would never have a pastor marry a "non-public" wife - that's simply an oxymoron.
There is nothing to show for an actual "remarriage" - just one which is alluded to all over JSM media but not actually substantiated anywhere. Seems that Jimmy staged their big family introduction at Christmas time just to make people think Donnie and Debbie got remarried, even though she may have just reappeared under other arrangements.
Taking up all that time in a Sunday morning worship service to reintroduce every single family member with a photo shoot to boot was pretty crazy excuse for getting Debbie onstage to make it appear to the audience that Debbie was back with Donnie as his wife.
However, when you live in the public view - especially if you are a pastor - you marry someone to share that role with you, "helping" you in that very public role. They would be seen TOGETHER, traveling together, ministering together. Wouldn't he want a woman to "help" in these ways?
Since NONE of those things are taking place, something isn't right. A few (stubborn "conservatives") consider a person still married to their first spouse even after divorcing and marrying another, refusing to accept the "new" spouse.
I suspect that could be the case here. Perhaps someone has suggested "she's always been his wife", even after his divorce and marriage to Judy. Thus they call her "his wife" by "definition" and not by any ceremony or even any scriptural union in the eyes of the Lord.
This is all a valid possibility, especially since there's really nothing else to prove otherwise. All we are looking for is a "normal" husband and wife relationship for a very public man. That wouldn't be so hard to see if it really existed.
