Hi Blooming... I think you used the word... "condemn" so I am going to concur... beyond overboard.
It is inaccurate that God condemns anybody for another persons sin... BUT FOR JESUS. It is true that people "suffer" for the sins of others... but we are not condemned for them. Like your earlier post alludes... God is all about redemption... and that includes divorce.

This thread has put some clarity into what is going on in my own divorce. My ex cheated on me several years ago. I forgave him & we moved on. But things weren't the same. He took jobs which put him further away from the kids & I. I felt abandoned & unloved, like a single parent. Then a friend of his enticed me & I cheated on my husband. Although we remain friends, I don't believe I can ever remarry because I have God first in my life & back then I didn't & He has shown me the errors of my ways. I would hope with all my heart I could reconcile with my ex, but I was confused about what the Scriptures had to say about the whole divorce thing. Just my thoughts.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
New International Version (NIV)
9*Two are better than one,
****because they have a good return for their labor:
10*If either of them falls down,
****one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
****and has no one to help them up.
11*Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
****But how can one keep warm alone?
12*Though one may be overpowered,
****two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

I am new to the forum,but I saw this thread & had to throw my 2 cents in. I am divorced 1 year now as of Feb 2nd. My ex-wife asked for the divorce. Gave me no reason,other than she was not happy anymore. We had no children together. We were married for 9yrs. Before meeting her I had absolutely no desire to get married,nor did she,but as it happened we fell in love,were friends for 3 yrs,then married...both of us in our early 30's & neither previously married or had children. I was a "Christian" she was "undecided/unbeliever". I'll be perfectly honest,I don't ever see myself as wanting to get married ever again. I am 42 now & still don't want children or any of the traditional trappings of marriage. I must say though,if I were to decide to venture down that road again,I would in no way feel convicted in my heart that I was committing adultery. I certainly would never feel as though she was either,if I heard at some point that she re-married as well.
