i have a friend whoose parents got separated years ago... now the man has dated another christian girl and they eventually wanted to get married. recently the parents got annulled (like divorced) and now they got married and is having a child...

i cannot judge them of course and i love my friend's mom and even his now step-mom- they are both great...

i guess what i am saying is that... is it right to date a separated man even if they have not been annulled yet or divorced? My take is still "no".... there is always a chance of the couple getting back together right? and by having a relationship with him, the third person takes away that chance....

but seeing them happy now--- that left me with questions if i am right?...hmmm

Even dating them after the divorce is wrong and evil. The Bible is quite clear that you can not re-marry after getting a divorce (unless the other spouse dies). Otherwise it's just like dating; you can marry, divorce, and re-marry as many times as you want.

Re-marrying after divorce makes both people in the new relationship adulterers, according to the Bible.

I wouldn't do it.
They are still married.
I don't care how long the separation is,
they are still one according to God.
If one is unfaithful then get a writ of divorcement,
but separated means still married.

Well, its not so much they might get back together again. Sometimes divorced couples remarry. And chances are if they have be separated for years and are looking into, or have started dating, the chances of getting back together are not likely anyways. But the wrongness of it is that they are married. Living apart does not make you divorced.
