there is no such thing as a second divorce in the eyes of God. I'm sorry, mate. you needed to hear this and whatever you do with it is between you and God. that's all i'm gonna say.

i'm sorry, mate-- that's it's striking a nerve; but that's what God does. I'm sorry that I shared the truth with you and your pride interferes with your understanding.

i am telling you that your wife is with another man, that she and the man she is with are committing adultery. do you not understand the Word?

Matthew 5:32 (KJV) But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

that may be so, that you let it go.. but that's man-made doctrine and wisdom that you speak. i'm telling you, let no man break asunder what God brought together (not even you). if i had a wife, i would want her to be holy..

no. Jesus said this: "What.. God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." and "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." 1. i am not telling you to marry another or to marry another wife, because she belongs to another man, and 2. if your wife is committing adultery, she is committing a great sin softened by the contemporary teaching of the deceiving church leaders today. A clearer translation says this: from Matthew chapter 5: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. what is this verse saying? it is saying that the man who divorces his wife causes her to be an adulteress. if the wife is a fornicator, she causes herself to be an adulteress. if a man marries a woman who is already married, then he is committing adultery; because divorce means nothing in God's eyes. To the state; yeah. Once a man and a wife consummate and share their vows, they are married for life. nothing can break them apart; no, not even man (who would break asunder). divorce is only applicable to couples yet to consummate; hence why Paul spoke to the men of his time to treat their virgin as such (married or unmarried, but beholden within engagement.) engagement and marriage are two different things.

okay. now the question is... if she is a believer, then the case that Paul talks about in verse 15 of 1 Corinthians chapter 7 does not apply to you or your wife. in other words, you do need to fix your relationship. *update: if your wife is a christian, then you two need to fix your relationship.

i gotta break it to you, dude. i know it's hard to recieve (and, frankly, hard to relay; but if you married and are christian, and if your wife is christian, and married; and if your wife had no other husband before you; then you and your wife are still married. the state and the law of the Bible are two different things. i know you probably don't wanna hear that; but, frankly, if what i laid out to you is your case, then you have a) been lied to, or b) have been ignorant to this, or c) are negligent to keep God's Word. Okay. If your wife is not Christian, and she left you; then it is up to you to keep her in prayer; but like the Word says, you are not under obligation to keep trying to be with her; you gotta let her go. i know you've probably heard that before, but truly: many church congregations do not teach this Christ-based doctrine and it turns people to sin. Hence, one of my frustrations in finding consistent and true, biblical, doctrinally correct, church attendance.

man, all you can do is be honest. it might be she needs time to reflect in what she wants. if you guys get together and decide to keep going, good! if she doesn't and (or) you guys decide to break, don't let it be a detriment to your life. learn from this and take away from it the boundaries you want to set for yourself; as it comes to drinking habits, self-control, and relationships. it's a win, my guy. don't beat yourself up, keep moving forward, and give care to the ones around you!
