This is the section for introducing yourself. If you'd like to start s discussion you'll be better off posting in an appropriate section of the forums.
But asking people to share their divorce stories may not go over so well on a Christian site. Granted divorced people should not be condemned, but having a group come together to publicly share the details of theirs may not garner much response. Especially considering the posts put up here are visible to anyone in Google or other search engines.

Greetings. As mentioned above, this is an introductions forum. A testimonials or marriage thread may be a more appropriate place to discuss your concerns and interests.
I believe we should recognize our own mistakes from the past in order to live better lives in the future and not dwell on the past. Also we should live more positive lives looking for the good in others. Our attitude affects our lives and the people around us.
Smile, let's count our blessings! Welcome to Christian Chat.

My story has been told over countless posts in many threads and forums. Married 3 times, first one, divorce 6 1/2 years, second one, death, 11 years 2 months, currently happily married 3 years, 5 months. My X from marriage #1 screwed it up, not me. No, we are not exempt from divorce even though we may be Christian. Looking forward to hearing more of your story. Glad to have you join us. Welcome to CC.
Yes it says in the Bible that divorce is only allowed because of adultery. It's easy to hurt people when discussing this subject and it's good to remember that God wants us to love one another. I have found it to be helpful to really know what the Bible says about this and to seek His heart before you exert an opinion about divorce as it is a very painful thing. If we confess our sins God is faithful and just to forgive us and we are answerable to Him.He knows our hearts??????
Actually, once you are divorced you are no longer connected. What Tommy said was biblically correct too. Now, I made a bad mistake in my youth and now God expects me to suffer in a loveless marriage with an uncaring wife for the rest of my life? I really don't think so, and besides that I'm already remarried.
I found out that my X (first marriage) was committing adultery while I was serving in the military. I never threw that up in her face but let it go. I intended to stay married for the sake of my young daughter but once I got out of the military my X said that she didn't love me anymore and probably never did. Even so, the divorces was devastating and the effects were felt for many years afterward by my trying to remain a good father to my daughter.
Seriously, the divorce was a blessing from God but even then, besides a few quick flings after the divorce, I remained single and celibate for the next 18 years. My second marriage ended in the premature death of my spouse at the age of 59, same age as mine at the time. She was very sick and had horrible arthritis that disabled her but I took care of her the best that I could while still maintaining a full time job and maintaining the household doing everything by myself. She died while we were in Maine. I'm from Florida.
The last 8 years of the marriage I was alone and isolated from my family a half a country away in a harsh environment. Due to her medications, and the arthritis we were not able to have sex for the last 3 years of our marriage or even sleep in the same bed yet I remained a loving and faithful husband to her till the day she died on Feb 21, 2014. Due to the medications she was not coherent for the last year of her life except for a few minutes here and there. I was married but yet very much alone.
I met my current and last wife on this site. She is loving and faithful to me too as I am to her and by the grace of God she is healthy also. We talk, laugh, go grocery shopping, make love, stuff like that. Perhaps if you are a lawyer you could find biblical grounds that we should not be married but even so, I don't intend to leave her and will be loving and faithful to her until death do we part.
