BTW - Is there a way to put my own avatar in? I really don’t like the generic ones.

There is most assuredly free will and therefore people can always choose the wrong things, like adultery. There is also free will regarding remaining married to someone who is a serial adulterer. Hosea married a prostitute and the Lord kept sending him after her…

I do not condemn your decision, certainly you have gone beyond what most would by forgiving and taking him back several times. You freely admit that your family suffered from your decision too. I know that there is healing in the Lord, from both divorce and adultery and I hope that you have found peace in the Lord.

I like MIN cannot endorse divorce, and I also go one step further, I cannot endorse remarriage after divorce. I also believe however that the Lord is able to forgive EVERYTHING (except to deny Him). He is able to forgive and heal and love even the most horrible things, and my own story of forgiveness is absolutely no better. He forgives me, He forgives you, and I do not condemn you.

In Peace,

If these things have made your walk with Him stronger, I’m grateful for that– even though I don’t know that I can endorse divorce.

Please know I do not endorse divorce and I agree with your comments regarding unconditional love and striving to love others as God loves us - however - I feel it is important that one not remain in a dangerous situation in the name of love.

The topic is controversial, but I believe there are times when divorce is unavoidable due to “free-will” and “sin.”

To have a relationship with our Creator requires us to be actively involved in that relationship, He does not force us, but rather grants free-will. The same is true of our human relationships. We have choices and consequences.

I have been a victim of infidelity in which I forgave repeatedly. I was actively walking with God and my relationship with Christ was all that kept me going. I prayed for healing and longed to have a solid family unit, yet the choices of my spouse were continually destructive to our marriage and our family’s emotional and possibly physical well being. After much prayer and petition I was released from that marriage and I filed for divorce, though it was not the answer I had been praying for.

Today I have a godly marriage for which I am very thankful. My family will always carry the scars of divorce, there is no miracle cure for broken families. But thankfully we serve a Lord who knows our hearts, understands our pain and can use all things for His glory.
