Ain't that the truth. What are you doing Saturday night?
Add me. I have a great Christian marriage now...not so in my previous life!
There, there...it's okay. And hey, juries accept pleas of temporary insanity, y'know.
My daughter is in the process of being divorced from a man who is clearly insane. His own parents believe his visitation with their chidren should be supervised for the well being of the children. A few hours worth of classes before they married would not have uncovered the kind of paranoia that calls his innocent wife "The whore of Babylon". He has managed to drag the divorce out for months longer than necessary by firing and then hiring attorneys and starting the whole process from the beginning.
Her father and I are supposting her and the children at great personal sacrifice because this man, with the encouragement of his "pastor", has not paid over $6000 in court ordered support since summer.
What the church and society as a whole does not do is teach young people to be very very choosey in their choice of a mate. A few hours worth of counseling after the wedding is planned is too late.
the her that was put away part means a different woman who was divorced (because she is already a fornicator!) or, in the alternative, she shouldn't be divorced because no fornicating was committed. In which case, she should still be married. oy.
but quite seamless, really.
Some people are late bloomers, have a hard time meeting people, etc. I wouldn't discount appearance though. People can be superficial.
Do you really think it's possible for two people who are emotionally and physically attracted to one another and who are contemplating spending the rest of their lives together to live in the same house together and not have sex? I am not trying to be a smart ass here, I just find that concept insane.
boy, the ping list of us "sinners" is going to be a big one!!!!
Is the one you refer to your third marriage?
My ex is now married to man with lots of filthy lucre. Sad, very sad.
It's easy to say you don't believe in divorce when you are single or in a good marriage.I didn't believe in divorce when I got married either.
I didn't WANT a divorce,I HAD to get a divorce to save my sanity.We are both better off now and so are the kids.
From the first time I saw the lawyer until now I have never regretted it.
OK, but I am still confused. I get the part about the first wife, but what about the husband and the second wife? That's where I am confused. Some say it's a sin, and some don't and I'm not sure how either side justifies their position, because the little Scripture I've seen on it confuses me. :)
LOL Or maybe I'm just dumb.
Why yes, yes it is. Good scorekeeping, matey!
Me too...me too!
2nd wife who was never married seems ok. Biblically speaking, I mean.
That's cool. But what about the husband? Am I trying your patience yet? LOL
"Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery" (Mt. 19:9).
My first ex is now married to a man 14 years her junior. But I don't hold it against her. I'm now married to a wonderful woman who's 16 years younger than I. And, as Groucho Marx so wisely observed, "You're only as old as the woman you feel." ;o)
My only observation on this topic:
I'm in a second marriage, my ex is still living.
My wife's pastor says we're committing adultery.
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby.
