I was. I have no faith that God will ever put a woman in my path that I will ever marry. So It's a moot point but it started of as a question to me from jewel about what I would or wouldn't do. As a man. I made no biblical references. I was kicked out of a church because my bi-polar wife devorced me because she was unhappy and to them being divorced was equal to adultery and they didn't tollerate divorced men or adulteres in their midst. According to them I was going to hell for not saving my doomed marriage. She turned lesbo! I take marriage deadly serious. It's supposed to be a contract for life. You can't find a scripture that says it's ok for me to marry again, however if I did I'm sure his grace would abound. I've been divorced 34 years and haven't remarried, have no prospects and frankly don't care any more.

I am not trying to offend you, but it is not only a contract for life... it is a SANCTIFIED unity under God....

I'm sorry you've been hurt so badly cali, but in terms of what is right and wrong... using temporal pleasures... or lack thereof

as a reason for divorce
or fornication.... is wrong....

Yes but my main concern is to more thouroughly cover the bases in order to guard against the tradgey of divorce. You know King Henry the 8th choosing beheading over divorce because it was more acceptable to the church?
I no longer burn with passion so I don't need to get married. This is me now! rt 66 .2.jpg

@Tommy379 The question in my mind is which is worse fornicating with a prospective wife or having a marriage that ends in divorce? And a broken family?

we aren't called to encourage choosing the lesser of two evils



we do not do evil, so good may come....

this is in the bible

Your right, I was just expressing natural human fear and anxiety. God's not done with me yet. I have chosen neither but to remain single since 1984 and no dates since 2006. Plus expressing the stigma of divorce which lasts the rest of my life..

Here’s what I know...

A husband and wife need to take the time to know one another in the bedroom. If someone doesn’t wanna take the time to do this, well I say said person is just lazy.

Granted there may be health issues that might prolong the getting to know. But shoot I thought one of the reasons people get married is for love. Lol.

The whole test drive deal isn’t compatible with Scripture.

That’s my opinion.

Amen...big difference between sex n love making..

I'm 41 (soon to be 42) and I hold to no sex before marriage. To be blunt, I want to "enjoy those moments" with my potential future wife. :D
