and a piece if (divorce) paper doesn't nullify the union. I would say that's true, after my divorce, I still felt married to my ex-husband...there was something wrong with every man I met, and there was no peace in my life.
It's too late now to reconcile because he recently passed away(cries)

But what I want to say is: Give your Ex a 2nd CHANCE if you can...your bond is still there, and it's worth fighting for. Mark 10:9 "Let no man separate what God has joined together:

Men and women were to remain virgins, then marry, then have relations, then God might bless that union with children.



Matthew 19:4-5

And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made [them] at the beginning made them male and female,



And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?



God has finished using all churches and is no longer saving, but this person is correct about that one thing that the first marriage is still held as God says you have become one flesh until the death of that person.

And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

If you're madly in love with this guy u should get a divorce before you do something that you regret such as sleeping with this then you would really hurt the kids and then you would probably get the kids taken away from you because of infidelity...it's just better to get a divorce. I would have told you to just stick it out if you just wanted this guy and your husband was really trying to make the relationship but...he's abusive PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY!!! ;( Forget about your kids for a second (not saying don't keep them in mind at all) because in the long run your kids will grow up and you will have to live with the choice that you made when you decided to stay and your will be on their merry little way getting into their own relationships. Remember if you tell your kids that their father is not a good person they will understand, but even if they don't leave them with the father for little while and they will understand...but seriously the abuse thing is not okay you can't grow up from marriage your kids will grow up...but the real you would think of your kids is moving them from that environment because being in an abusive environment can make them worse off them you divorcing their dirt-bag of a father. XD P.S.-Just because YOUR relationship with the father ends doesn't mean the kids has to
stop eating people, dammit

In most cases, a married couple will pay less taxes by filing with the IRS jointly (i.e., as a married couple) instead of filing two individual returns.



If what you pastor says were true, you would probably be owed a refund on your taxes. Tell your pastor that he may file for the refund on your behalf and keep it if he likes. Remind him that his "God" is bigger than the IRS, so he should not fear prosecution for attempted fraud. Let's see if he'll stand behind his beliefs.

I have an ex friend who said the same thing. He is mormon. Turned out he was a child rapist and he forced his daughters into incest. His wife is still married to him because the church told the family to forgive and the marriage bond cannot be broken no matter what he did to her minor children. In my mind, the church forced her into complicity after the fact and the church is also complicit. Her choice: take him back or go to hell.



I would never want to be married to someone who raped my daughters or anyone else's daughter for that matter.

If your marriage was meant to be then it would not have ended up with divorce.Stop trying to reach for the things that are behind, but rather seek the things that are ahead. You need happiness in your life, go out and do the things that will bring smiles and laughter, and let go off the past it is gone and never to return. Good luck.

Not if you get a Christian divorce. He or she is guilty of adultery then you are free to forgive or leave. and divorce. Hebrews13:4;Mathew 19:9

....that sounds like something a pastor would say. The religious aren't too good with things like fact, logic or rationale.
