Is it right as a Christian to marry a twice divorced man who has had multiple

[a b]

relationships? As a Christian, I want to obey God. In Mathew 3, my understanding is that it is best not to marry a divorced man.

I love a man who is twice divorced. His first when he was in his twenties, dissolved in the traditional Jewish manner. His 2nd marriage, 30 years, has been through many rough patches and he and his wife have not had a relationship for the past 10 years. She left him 3 times. They only got back together because she had breast cancer. Now that she is well again, they are planning to divorce. He want to marry again because he wants a relationship with someone who cares and loves him. I can do this without marrying him and without a sexual relationship with him. This might not be agreeable with him and he may wish to go off with other women, in serial manogamy. I guess, if I can accept this, it is the best way for me to protect myself. I am happier with him, than without him. What should I do as a good Christian and obey God's Law.

thats common sense for anyone and everyone. that person has commitment issues. i wouldn't commit myself to anyone who has a problem with that.

[I am Made of Jelly]

I don't think you should marry him just based on the fact that he doesn't sound trustworthy.

[Secret Agent of God]

I wouldn't care if he had multiple relationships in the past.

But he's got multiple relationships NOW.
Wait until he has only one...with you.

[man with little book]

Let him who can accept this accept this, with all the sins EVERYONE has committed one more will do . . . . Lord, I repent of my sins!

I would say if a man has that kind of track record..he is a proven loser in the ability to love department. Do not compound his mistakes by marrying him. There ARE other men who are NOT like him at all , thank God. Find another.

Jeremiah 17:9 (NASB-U)
"The heart is more deceitful than all else
And is desperately sick;
Who can understand it?


You are thinking with your heart and that will bring you misery.

It is not to late to use God's wisdom. Yes, it is hard but God will make you happy if you choose the Godly, right and hard path.

No, don't marry this guy.

You will be TEMPORARILY sad.

If you marry your sadness will be forever. God expects you to marry only once.

He has married more than once...that tells me a little bit about his commitment level. When the times gets tough...he QUITS.

Don't use your heart. Follow God. He will bless you for it.

Your eyes are wide open. You know what the right thing to do is. Now, do it. Don't follow the path of sin and misery by marrying this guy.

No matter what religion (or non-religion) you are...NO man (or woman) is worth compromising Who You Are.

Run Away, run away!

Wisdom would tell you this is not a very emotionally stable person and to steer clear lest you become one of his "ex's". If he is not a believer, and you are, the Scriptures tell us not be yoked with unbelievers. I fear much suffering and trouble if you proceed, it may be best to move on. There are more stable men out there, real men of God, ask God to bring one into your life, at His time and by His methods. If He deems it best for you to remain single, rejoice in that, and serve Him with a whole heart.

[Chris]

Well first of all, is he a believer? If not, you're getting unequally yoked and shouldn't do it.

If he is a believer, he's forgiven his sins (including divorce), just as you are forgiven your sins.
