(Please include bible references). Thanks I don't believe that there is a biblical precident for the girl or boy to not remarry both previous marriages were prior to their salvation. Both are now saved and the decision they now make is binding. But to state the obvious she is unsure, and there are no scriptures where God would speak that she must marry the ex-husband. The worst thing that would happen here is that two saved people would enter marriage without being 100% sure, for this time it is would be a covenant they made before God and divorce would not be an option except if one of the partners commits adultery. This is the biblical advise, DO not get married unless you have made a decision to commit to this marriage for life. Blessings, Bethany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both need to pray for Gods will in this situation and if they decide to try it again they need counseling before a remarriage. Praying for them God Bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lord called it an "abomination." Now, I realize the Lord forgives all manner of sin. Thus, it causes a pause. The scenario, however, kind of sounds like this guy doesn't know what he's doing and should really just stay single for a while and get godly discipling.

I am a bit relieved cause he can be quite abusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
