............... Future Happiness?????

Hello,

I have so much that I am trying to sort through especially as a Christian woman who had to be the one to file for divorce after 20 years of fighting to keep it going.

I am finding that people love & respect you when you're a "martyr" but let the one find the strength to say "no more" and to chose healing and now, they want to crucify.

Any thoughts and expereinces on this following matter would be most appreciated!

A person with a Catholic background is taught in not only the Catholic church but also non-denominational church that remarriage after divorce, except for divorce for adultery, is sin and constitutes adultery. Therefore, this person feels that it is their punishment in this life for not having a successful first marraige and no matter how in love with someone they are, they believe they cannot get married again without displeasing God.

Thank You!

Hi drummermom,

I am working through it too. I was 27 years old when my husband left and didn't come back. He is with someone else now and has asked me for a divorce after almost four years of not speaking to me. We were waiting to have children and now I have none. I am 31 and am trying to face the idea of all those moments alone. More than anything, I want to be obedient and trust that God will reward me for that. But, I don't know what he is asking of me. I do not want to be a martyr, just obedient.

I would love to hear other's thoughts on remarriage.
