What does the bible say about marriage after divorce?
daniels.lady asked:
I am a Christian and am married. I have been unhappy for many years. My husband is not a Christian. I have been emotionally abused for most of the marriage, and have finally decided to divorce this man. I have recently met a wonderful man, a Christian man, and we love each other completely. Our love is pure and we have not crossed any lines. There has been no adultery in the physical sense, although emotionally, my heart belongs to him. Will God forgive us and allow us to be together? Does the bible talk about this?

According to the bible, you should be stoned to death.
However, I don’t believe in god and I think you should divorce your husband and lead a happy life.

1 Corinthians 7 is your best source: Actually , If you are currently married you are committing adultery, for it is already in your heart to do so to another. The Bible give you an out of the marriage you are in because you are abused, and Christ says this is not a way to treat a woman. so divorce and then remarry the one you love.

You know, God is the good guy who wants you to be happy.
I don’t know what the Bible says specifically, but please remember that the Bible was written by people of a certain time and certain place. It did not arrive by fax straight from God.
God is not of a certain time and place. What the Bible says is not necessarily relevant to the here and now.
You have a personal relationship with God. It’s no good asking on here if he will forgive you. Ask him yourself.

The bible spoke of divorce as an unfaithful act. However, you should consult a priest to be sure.
Because I suspect that you did not marry in Christian way, and thus your marriage was not fully investigated. (A true Christian marriage would be thoroughly inspected to ensure everlasting faithful) That way, your marriage also does not constitute a sacrament and thus, might not have the Lord’s blessings.
But this is just a speculation. You should ask a priest, not a laymen like us.

I sympathise with your situation for none of us have perfect marriages.
Have you’ve been physically abused?
Actually hard to find scripture to justify you deciding to leave your non-believing husband. If he chooses to divorce you, it’s a different matter. But if you choose to divorce, you commit adultery and the man who marries you, commits adultery. (Mark 10:12).
Please see 1 Cor 7:13-16. May the Lord grant you His all-sufficient grace in your situation.

Are you allowed to marry a
divorced person?
Mat 5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
Mat 5:32 But I (Jesus) 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.
Mat 19:9 And I say unto you, 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.
Prov 6 Verse 32: But whose committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: He that doeth it destoyeth his own soul.
Verse 33: A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. Gal 5 Verse 19: Now the works of ihe flesh are manifest, which are these: Adultery, fornication, etc.
Verse 21: That they that do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Jer 3:1 If a man put away his wife, and she go from him and become another man’s, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted?
Verse 12: But to the rest speak, I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not and she be pleased to dwell with him let him not put her away.
Verse 13: And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
Verse 14: For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: Else were your children unclean: But now they are holy.
Verse 15: But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: But God hath called us to peace.

Mat 5:32 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.
Rom 7:3 So then if, while [her] husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
1Cr 7:10 And unto the married I command, [yet] not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from [her] husband:
1Cr 7:11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to [her] husband: and let not the husband put away [his] wife.
You will be an adulterer as well as your christian friend if you divorce and remarry each other. I am sorry that you are in a bind. The other option would be to remain unmarried…
1Cr 7:12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
1Cr 7:13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
1Cr 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
1Cr 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such [cases]: but God hath called us to peace.
1Cr 7:16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save [thy] husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save [thy] wife?
1Cr 7:17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
You say your husband is not a Christian. Read again.1Cr 7:16

Jesus said that the only grounds for a Christian to divorce is for fornication, that is if one mate is unfaithful to the other by having sexual relations with someone else. (Matthew 19:9) “I say to YOU that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery.”
So if you divorce your spouse for any other reason and marry another you are guilty of adultery in God’s eyes. Marriage is sacred and you would do well to work harder to make yours work even if your husband is not a “Christian”. As 1 Corinthians 7:10, 11 says, “To the married people I give instructions, yet not I but the Lord, that a wife should not depart from her husband; 11 but if she should actually depart, let her remain unmarried or else make up again with her husband; and a husband should not leave his wife.”
Peter adds some information that emphasizes the reason when he says at 1 Peter 3:1, “YOU wives, be in subjection to YOUR own husbands, in order that, if any are not obedient to the word, they may be won without a word through the conduct of [their] wives.”
Also note Jesus words at Matthew 5:27, 28, “YOU heard that it was said, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ But I say to YOU that everyone that keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
Of course these scriptures apply to both the husband and the wife equally.

Hi–I was getting redy to put scriptures up here but I see that lady kk already has–I pray that you take heed to the scriptures–have Faith–Pray and Believe that your lifestyle-behavior will win him over to Christ–
1Peter3:1-6
1Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 5For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, 6like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
I know that it’s hard–and I know that the temptation to leave him is there–but don’t leave, don’t allow your heart to be hardened towards him–it’s funny because the way of the world is u get married, try it out-and if u don’t like it–move on the next person–but that’s the deceitfulness of the enemy–Our marriages are to be a reflection of Christ and the Church–his bride–think about the number of times you’ve fallen–repented and He took you back–in spite of…I don’t know how emotionally distressed your husband has made you BUT I know that nothing is too hard for God-Let your decision be pleasing to God and not what you feel–what your flesh feels–Don’t rely on another man to make you happy…
…PLEASE read those scriptures posted by Lady Kk and submit to them–I believe in your heart you already know the answer to your question–
Just please–Please God–don’t be like the world and run to another man because your husband isn’t saved and is “acting up”–
Grace and Peace,
-I pray that you take heed to the scriptures–
