So what if your husband walks out on you. Can I still divorce??? and start dating. My husband left me with a lot of bills Glory to God, the Lord is really helping me. I have not talked to him but maybe once. He left me last September 24, 2021.
I can never forget how he did this. He called me all day long at work and said that it was date night. By the time I get home, the Holy Spirit told me he would not be there. I'm in the car arguing with the holy spirit. So therefore, I had to repent. When I got home he was not there after 10 calls at work telling me how we were going to have a great time and eat steak at a restaurant he found not to far out in the area.
He actually came home the next noon day and demanding he get 5 outfits. Prior to asking for the 5 outfits he cursed me like I was a harlot. Then I finally said take everything. I told him I didn't want a husband that could not come home to me, his wife.
Several months later my son told me he had saw him coming out of a crack house. Even though he was not making love to me i went to see my doctor and every test came back negative. I thank God for that also. I have days that I really feel lonely. I work and trying to start a bakery I sell pies and cake slices to help pay bills along with my job. Other days, I feel rejected. So what the does the Lord command us to do. I need companionship. I do want to start dating again.
Let me completely disagree to the other comments made.
In 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 it clearly states that if someone divorces (only for reasons allowed by God) he/she should remain unmarried or get back with the husband/wife. God's purpose is to keep families together not split them apart. Also the verse 15 that some christians claim that can be used to divorce (if it is explained the way they explain it) it condradicts Matthew
5:31-32 that says divorce is only allowed for reasons of adultery. Also read the next to 15 verse (verse 16) which says that God advices you to try and get along with your husband..So as i read it you cannot date again. In verse 39 it clearly says that for God you are bound with your husband as long as he lives (no matter if he is a believer or not) , if he dies then you are allowed to remarry.
So my personal advice is pray to God and forgive your husband (don't forget that if we don't forgive other people's sins to us neither God will forgive us. Matthew 6:14-15) and make effords to get back together. Pray that God works his heart and put faith in it and free him from his addictions. It's the hard way but it's the right way too, and God will bless you.
Never forget that God's purpose is to unite families in Christ not split them apart.
Now if he has been unfaithful to you yes you can divorce him, but still you have to be unmarried. If he is violent to you because of his addictions you can keep apart untill he is changed, if he changes, and keep praying but still divorce is not permitted.
Dear Marie, Paul's instructions in the verse given you by Ann show you that you are no longer bound to your husband if he is an unbeliever. If he is a believer, then you are to wait in hopes of being reconciled.
Everything is still very raw with you and your son is hurting, too. Take this season to support him and improve your communication with him.
Suze has given you good advice to be about the things of the Lord instead of seeking a mate. God will bring about an answer to your need for companionship in His timing and will.
My last comment is that I recommend being completely divorced before dating another. And pray for your husband. If he is involved with drugs, then he is not in his right mind. but God can deliver him and restore him to you, also. Be open for whatever God has for your future.
You have had such a hard time Marie . Take some time to emotionally process everything that you have been through , concentrate on your business and your children . I wish I could taste some of your cooking , smiley face . Strengthen your relationship with your Heavenly Father and just be peacefull and content for a while . God's love will surround you . The best way to find a good man is to stop looking for one . If there is someone out there who is right for you God will make sure you get together , but it will be in His good time . He knows better than even you do , just what you need and when you will best appreciate it . Relax and focus on your Bible , family and business . May God bless you and your family , may you all find peace and happiness , in this life and in the world to come .
1 Corinthians 7:15 (KJV) But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
You can date. Just make sure they are filled with the Holy Spirit. And living for the Most High.
