I am assuming that you are thinking of committed Christian marriages between an adult male and female. And the answer to that is "Yes" since they are duty-bound to follow Biblical principles such as:  forgive one another even as God has forgiven you; do not let the sun set on your anger; they cannot be mad at one another and still have evening and morning devotions; both the roles of the wife and husband are clearly stated in the Bible, especially that the husband is to love the wife to the point of giving his life for her if so required!!! Each has the outlook that his/her words and actions are not "my business" but our family's good name, our children's future, our church's reputation, and a reflection on the character of the God they serve.  What do the other marriages have to glue it together when the novelty wears off?

Depends on your viewpoint. If Charles is to be the head of the Church of England some day, then, as a divorcee, he cannot be married again since, technically the church does not recognize divorce. However since Diana is dead then he is a widower and as he married 'until death do us part' then he is free to marry again. Unfortunately he chose to marry another divorcee and according to strict church law she is still married to her first husband. ergo : they cannot be legally married in the eyes of the church.\n\nMajor Parker-Bowles is known as 'The man who laid down his wife for his country!'

Jesus took her sin upon Himself and he was already slapped. No sin or crime is judged twice. If you want to be free of sin believe in Jesus Christ and you shall be set free.

Naturally, the choice is yours.  But, whichever you choose, you will have to live with the consequences of your choice.  If you were to choose the unsaved guy, you will be unequally yoked, a direct violation of a Scriptural command.  There will be consequences.  This is especially true if you later get married.  I can't begin to count the number of unequally yoked spouses that have been counselled because their marriage is in disarray.   Why?  Because the husband objects to the wife's standards or commitments.  (Or vice versa)\n\nIf you go with the saved guy, it is a better choice, Scripturally speaking, but he may not be the one that God wants for you.  I recommend that you pray for the Lord's will, and have Him make plain to you who He wants for you.

Well I guess I can help you there.I have been married and divorced 2X's myself.I am now married again and I do love him as he loves me.So I do not believe it is stupid but it does take courage to fall in love again and re-marry.

Yes. Why would you want to bring the symbols of all failed marriages into a new one? You should pawn them and move on. With the money you receive from the old rings, get a new ring to start anew life.

SINCE %57 OF CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES END IN DIVORCE. I WOULD SAY THAT MOST  DON'T CARE BECAUSE THEN THEY TURN AROUND AND REMARRY. Mark 10:11,12\n11 So He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. \n12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."

what i feel is that it is not right for both men or women to marry again.a person with true love for his&#92;her better half will never think about it.in a country like mine,both are considered illegal.one should think hundred times before choosing his&#92;her better half and not after that.marriage is not a trial and error method.these are my thoughts and don't say that these alone are right

DIVORCE AND SEPARATION  Most of you, say you believe in Jesus, but the problem is, many of you do not want to obey what He & the Writers of the Bible tell you.\n\n"We may claim to love God, but how we react to what his inspired Word, the Bible, teaches will reveal our true thoughts, even the very intentions of the heart." In other words, you have your on thoughts on the matter, & heck with what the Bible says. But I'm going to take the time to explain what the Scriptures say about Divorce & Remarriage.\n\nGod, the Originator of marriage, designed it to be a permanent union. But is there any Scriptural reason for a person to divorce his or her mate—and one that would allow for the possibility of remarrying? Jesus addressed this matter by declaring: “I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery.” (Matthew 19:9) Sexual infidelity by a mate is the only ground for a divorce that will allow the innocent mate to remarry.\n\nIn addition, the Bible’s words at 1 Corinthians 7:10-16, while encouraging marriage mates to stay together, allow for separation. Some, after trying very hard to preserve their marriage, feel they have no choice but to separate. What can be acceptable Scriptural grounds for such a step?\n\nOne is willful nonsupport. When getting married, a husband assumes the responsibility of providing for his wife and children. The man who willfully fails to provide the material necessities of life “has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith.” (1 Timothy 5:8) So separation is possible.\n\nAnother is extreme physical abuse. So then, if a mate physically abuses his wife, the victim may separate. (Galatians 5:19-21; Titus 1:7) “Anyone loving violence [God’s] soul certainly hates.”—Psalm 11:5.\n\nAnother ground for separation is the absolute endangerment of a believer’s spirituality—one’s relationship with God. When a mate’s opposition, perhaps including physical restraint, has made it impossible to pursue true worship and has imperiled the believer’s spirituality, then some believers have found it necessary to separate.—Matthew 22:37; Acts 5:27-32.\n\nHowever, if divorce is pursued under such circumstances, one would not be free to enter a new marriage. According to the Bible, the only legitimate ground for divorce that permits remarriage is adultery or “fornication.”—Matthew 5:32.\n\nThe Bible allows only one reason for getting a divorce that frees a person to remarry, and that is fornication (Greek, porneia, gross sexual immorality). If fornication is committed, then the innocent mate may decide whether to get a divorce or not.—Matthew 5:32.\n\nAfter telling the Pharisees that the Mosaic concession of divorcing their wives was not the arrangement that had prevailed “from the beginning,” Jesus said: “I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery.” (Mt 19:8, 9)

It wouldn't because marriage is a Holy Sacrament. Jesus is still my Lord, regardless.

In theory this does make sense.  Any other sin you commit would fall under disobedience.  The Bible commands you not to commit adultery.  So the sin you are forgiven for is not the adultery but the disobedience against the commandment.

It depends on how a person believes...and since marriage falls into the religion cagatory, then one would have to abide by the rules set forth by ones religion.  \n\nHowever if a person never plan to marry then that person would have to consider a life of celebacy.\n\nSo in my opinion......YES!\n\n:)\nPeace

It pains me to read this, that a man would do this to two women he loves. I pray for all involved. I'm a Catholic, deeply believing in marriage and its sanctity.\n\nYou have many questions. I"ll try to tackle them organizedly.\n\nI think, more important than a discussion of the sin, is the damage that is being done to the spouse and to the family and to him and to the OW. Those who say sin has no consequences beyond the sinner are sadly mistaken. We can talk about what the sin means and where there was sin and what punishment is merited later. Right now what matters is for him to cease in this sinful way.\n\nIt is true that the Blood of Christ means forgiveness; but HE HAS TO STOP SEEING HER in order to really and truly accept that forgiveness. Catholics seek this through Penance, non-Catholics through direct prayer or accountability groups or whatever practice they have interpreted to be correct.\n\nAll Sins are against God alone, but there are sins (small s) against several people here:\nHe is sinning against the spouse for very obvious reasons; "love, but not in love" is not a good enough reason to be unfaithful.\nHe is sinning against his family.\nHe is sinning against the OW by not loving her (love is a choice, very true).\nHe is sinning against the community by breaking his marriage vows.\n\nFirst, where is there Sin? There is Sin in the extramarital affair on its own - and this sort of Sin begins in the heart; he doesn't love the OW by choice, so the love is not in the heart, and that is the Sin of lust. There is Sin in being unfaithful in marriage, and I consider this to be the worst because it is breaking the marriage vows. I think the Church would consider breaking the vows the most grave Sin. I can go on and on, but the case is made.\n\nThe punishment for Sin is death; he may feel guilty, he may wish to repent, but it cannot be a sincere repentance until he stops seeing the OW and gives his heart time to forget her. The Sin and sins end at this point because:\n\nThe marriage has the chance to be made whole.\nThe hurt stops being piled upon the spouse.\nThe lust of his body ends.\nThe lust of his heart will fade.\nThe family has stopped being rent and can begin to heal.\nThe community sees that the vow is again being honored.\n\nIf he is not truly sorry for his Sin, whether he stops or not, this is for the Lord to know. The Lord may condemn him, the Lord may complete the good work begun in him (per Phillippians) and eventually admit him to Eternal Life, as the Lord may do to all of us. But to persist in unrepented sin is a grave decision.

Although I am answering from a Catholic perspective, the theology is fairly universal.\n\nJesus forbade divorce, except in cases of adultery. However, a divorce also implies that there was a marriage. This tends to be the angle that the Catholic church approaches the breakdown of a legal marriage, and that is, "was it even a marriage?"\n\nMarriage is, as Jesus puts it, "when two become one flesh", people whom God himself has "joined together." A sacramental moment of that magnitude requires that people enter it with full consent, and that consent requires both the personal maturity to give that consent as well as having all the information needed to make that consent. \n\nTake abuse, for instance - abuse implies a kind of marital fraud. Nobody would knowingly start dating someone who they knew was going to beat them, right? An abusive person is always going to put their best foot forward at first and hide that aspect of themselves until a time when they feel safe to let it out. This is a fraud - and if a person marries such a person, they aren't doing it with that full consent of the will necessary for a marriage to truly exist.\n\nSo a civil divorce may not always be a wrong thing to do, if it really is more of an annulment of a marriage that never truly was.\n\nAlso - the other thing to keep in mind, is that what Jesus specifically condemned was divorce and remarriage, not divorce alone. So even if the marriage was valid in the eyes of God - i.e. abuse, lies, fraud, alcoholism weren't part of the breakdown, it was a valid marriage - it is only remarriage that he's actually condemned.\n\nAn aside: marriage was not created by the state. It long predates the state. Marriage was deeded to the state by religion...

only if you can get the previous marriage annulled, which means the church declares it never happened. otherwise no, because they don't consider you catholic anymore if you got divorced.

Just pretend that there is NO such thing as divorce.  Close your eyes and think about that very hard.  Would you actually marry him if there were no such thing as divorce???  The reason I say that is because marriage is taken too lightly these days and it needs to be taken seriously.  When you get married you are making a covenant between you, your spouse, and God!!!!  Breaking that covenant means, you WILL answer for it!!
