there are many people that argue that, in no circumstances should a couple divorce, let alone, one of them remarry. i believe, that there is one exception, a person can divorce and remarry, if and only if, their partner has committed adulatory against them. what is your opinion on this widely debated topic?

Well... I think that people shouldn't. Cause the vows are to Death do us part rgiht?

And God means it to be one man and one woman, not many of each.

How about remarrying if your spouse passes away? That's not wrong, is it?

Wedding vows say "until death do you part" So I'm guessing it's alright.
I know that I wouldn't have the heart to do it though.

Here are those afore mentioned verses

Matthew 5:31-32 "31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[a] 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

Unless either of the two have committed adultery, they should not get remarried.

I believe that if you choose to marry a person it is for life.
If they mess up then I expect that you would be mature enough to work it out, go to counseling, talk to your pastor, and make an effort to fix the issues that you may have.
I am not a fan of divorce at all, it serves no good.
It causes heartbreak and so many problems, it also really takes a toll on the children that may be involved.
Heartbreak and chaos isn't of God.
If you are mature enough to marry then you should be mature enough to fix problems and issues instead of running from it.

This is a good resource about what God really thinks about divorce. It's a long but good read.

My hope is, in you Lord... "Romans 5:3-5"


I believe that in no circumstances should a couple get divorced... It needs to be worked out, everything is forgivable and can be worked past. marriage isn't light easy work, it is very hard laborious work, that of course is completely worth it, but people don't realize that being unhappy in a marriage is fixable if they work at it. People give up on each other and are weak, thus divorce happens.

But, in the event of a divorce, they say it takes 1 year to recover from ever 4 years of marriage (give or take of course). Getting remarried too soon would be detrimental to you, so it best to take things incredibly slow.

I don't see myself getting remarried, or even meeting another man, that's all in God's hands anyway and I don't mind being single the rest of my life.

I think divorce is always acceptable in cases of abuse, either of one's spouse or one's children.

Aside from that, it's really on a case-by-case basis. I will never look down on anyone for getting divorced, because their relationship and their choice to end it is frankly none of my business.

My partner was married and divorced before I knew him. I don't think he was wrong to get divorced to much as I think he was stupid to get married to his ex-wife in the first place. But he was young, he didn't really know who he was yet, and his desire to lead what he believed to be a "normal, respectable" life got the better of him. He realised too late that while he loved and respected his wife, he didn't love her the way a husband should love his wife, the way she deserved to be loved by her husband. He just couldn't love her like that, as much as he wanted to. He was too honourable to be unfaithful to her, but he was also too honourable to keep up the charade of being the ideal husband. He came clean to her about his past and the truth about his sexual orientation. He hadn't even planned to leave her, not unless she wanted him to, but she'd insisted that it would be best for both of them if they went their separate ways, giving both of them a chance to find happiness with someone better-suited to give it to them. They remain good friends to this day and clearly care deeply for one another. They simply had to face the fact that for them, the love they had for one another simply wasn't the sort of love that created marital bliss, and that their decision to get married was one made in the haste and naiveté of youth.

So I can respect their decision to get divorced. It worked out for the best for all involved. But personally, I've only ever wanted to get married once. I wanted to be sure I did it right the first time. I was with my partner for eight years before we got married, which might seem excessive, but I wanted to be as sure as I could be that we were both playing for keeps. And if and when he dies before me (which is frankly likely given our age gap), I really don't see myself re-marrying. Plenty of people go their whole lives never finding the kind of love we have, and I feel plenty blessed to have found it once. I don't expect to find it again.

I think that this is okay, my grandfather did remarry after my grandmother passed away, but he was 68 give or take a few and planning on living to 100, which for his health is very possible, he's been remarried for 8 years now I think. If he had stayed by himself, he would have gone crazy, he met his new wife (a widow) at a church event that both of their churches participated in.
