Marriage Remarriage Pros And Cons

1201 Words5 Pages

Marriage, Divorce & Remarriage
Introduction
There are many Christians, who believe if one is divorced before becoming a Christian he or she has no problem for remarriage. These Christians claim this previous marriage means nothing, and in the sight of the Lord, it has absolutely no value. The question is, is this, a viable truth or a lie perpetrated by Satan as truth?
This article will attempt to show what Scripture teaches about marriage, and let the individual reader decide for them-self.
Marriage
God performed the first marriage in the Garden of Eden with one man and one woman. This wedding laid the foundation of what God intended marriage to be.
In Genesis 2:21-24, it says,
21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and …show more content…

This adultery is not perpetual as the Church would have one to believe. However, the sting of one not innocent will always have the term adultery hanging over their head.
In Matthew 19:8-9, it says,
8 He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning, it has not been this way. 9 “And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
God’s View on Divorce
In Malachi 2:16, it says,
16 “For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel, “and him who covers his garment with wrong,” says the LORD of hosts. “So, take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.”
God’s viewpoint is, He says, “For I hate divorce,” the word hate is unyielding when it comes from the God of creation.
Hollywood has perpetuated and fanned the flame of divorce as acceptable, but in the eyes of God, this will NEVER BE.
Who is Exempt from The Divorce Law?
Only the innocent of an immoral act from a spouse who commits adultery can remarry. This blameless victim can remarry without the stigma of committing adultery if they …show more content…

9 “And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
Conclusion
God hates all divorces, even the non-Christian ones. People that claim otherwise do not understand Scripture. This also applies to the annulment granted by the Church, if an individual remarries and is not the innocent party, they are committing adultery.
Because the government controls marriage, they believe they can control the right to grant a divorce for any cause; they are wrong once again.
Marriage is the hardest work one will ever do, simply because it is the joining of two entirely separate personalities together and over time, they will work to blend their lives, but still stay independent.
May God grant all who read this article and plans to wed or married know His strength to show the world that God is the glue that holds you together.
Again, there is no scriptural support for the non-Christian marriage and later remarriage without the stigma of adultery unless you are the actual, innocent

    We see this issue being talked about as recently in the Churches Synod on the family. The big issue is how inclusive can the church be to divorced Catholics when it comes to other sacraments like the Eucharist. Seeing that the church has been struggling with the issue of marriage and divorce since the 300’s is a comfort. Through all these chapters what I see is the church has had to deal with questions, schisms, dissent to the core beliefs almost since the very beginning. Through all the issues the church is still standing and a beacon of hope to the

    "The Storm" is improper by any generation's standards, particularly for the time that it was written in the year 1898 since it is about an affair. Some of the characters are sexualized, show maturity, and show adults that make decisions that could affect their lives. By having amazing sex outside their marriages, Calixta and Alcée return to have those marriages feeling renewed. The author seems to excuse the adultery by allowing the characters not to be punished, and by having an ending where everyone is happy. Sexuality and desire walk through the lives just like the storm comes through in a single day.

    During the late 1800’s, divorce was a word affiliated with “Tyranny, Misrule, and Injustice” (“Divorce and Desertion” 2). It all started in 1849, when divorce was made federally illegal. The punishment was harsh, having women put to death or thrown in prison for “abandoning their mate,” and the punishment usually fell upon the woman. As a result, many women were trapped in abusive relationships, many of which ended up with the woman fleeing or being worked to death. If a woman ran from her husband, the law was involved.

    The conflict theory’s focus on divorce inspects the imbalance and power dynamics that are held within a society that can trickle down to individuals and their marital relationships. A society that is constantly in a state of battling and oppressing for distribution of limited resources plays a role in each and every divorce. Divorces are offered at a costly price, and the distributions of the assets between the two can often cause even more strife among couples feeling deeply saddened and/or resentful. Unrealistic expectations as well as underlying unresolved issues in individuals also play a role in divorces. America’s divorce rate averages about forty to fifty percent and subsequent marriages have even higher rates of separation.
