Matt. 5:32 But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.
And this is because when you are married as CopticChica21 said you are united and become one. But when you divorce, you become split, and then you are not 1 in Christ, but you are now two! and when you remarry after divorce then there is someone getting between you and your spouse, so then what are you, 3 seperate persons now, instead of 1 united with Christ. I kind of paraphrased it a little bit i heard that from an abouna.. feel free to correct..
GBU all!!

2Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her husband.3Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her.4The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.5Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.6But I say this as a concession, not as a commandment.7For I myself that all men were even as I myself.8-9 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am; but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is betterto marry than to burn with passion.10Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband.11But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife. (1 Corinthians 7:2-11)
By the way, the mother now supports both children and is hardly getting by, so when she took the father to court (for money to raise his kids, he wont even pay...
see thats a result when you get away from GOD
sleepy
but that's a very good topic and we need to pray to reduce the amount of divorce cases in our church.
GOD Bless you.
Nice topic...

If the spouse changes religion (i.e. converts to Islam).
Remember marriage is a union of Man, Woman, and God. If one member denies God, then there no longer is a union.
unless ur v young i think the whole divorce is not encouraged even if he does promote sexual immortality....i think they should seperate...........n thats all
here is my bak up....
1. keep the girl/guy away from anythoughts of intimate relationships with certain people...
2. as i said unless ur young there is no reasonfor u to get a divorce.....
3. 3 keep ur options open for ur children...what i mean by that is that if u have children with ur second husband, they cannot any priest /deaconess/ monk in the church so if ur child really wants to be a monk.....he will be prevented of that so it is betta not to put him through that.....anyway ur old starting a new life is not as important as if ur in ur 20's or 30's...
as st paul said....it is better to get married if it stops you from having passion/flame in ur heart.......
Just as some backround info, the husband works all the time and basically it's a valid excuse not to go to church, but even on the rare occasions that he does go, like on Christmas, he comes late and leaves early. The wife on the other hand loves church, it's the only fun in her life, she's a very religious person. And finally, they have three kids, two smaller ones under 12, and a teen. The teen, is used to it by now, and he prays for a solution, but every moment of peace that is given is like another calm before the storm. Worse, is that now, the fighting's getting so bad that even the little children are noticing and the teen doesn't want his siblings growing up in an envirnment like that. Finally, (sorry for the long response but,) the mother/wife is getting sicker by the day, she has asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, and just underwent a major surgery (about 1 year ago.)
If Divorve is out of the question, what do they do?
and yea, you definitely have to know the person you marry before you marry them...
why doesnt the family talk to abouna? at least the wife, if the husband refuses....
i'll pray for her...
Sorry that might have been a little harsh but our church was so clear on that topic. No Divorce excpet for one reason (which everybody knows already).
God bless you all and keep praying.
