Remaining with a Spouse

Feelings cannot be the main reason we remain with a spouse. Feelings come and go and they lie to us. We must base our commitment in marriage on truth. God said He made us one in marriage, therefore we know we cannot end what God joined. I did not say we should not end, I said it is impossible to end. mes we had to choose love when we didn't feel it.

Feelings cannot be the main reason we remain with a spouse. Feelings come and go and they lie to us. We must base our commitment in marriage on truth.

Those who divorce are those who go into marriage thinking it will be everything they want it to be. They are sizing up their new spouse for how much that person will do for them.

When we go into marriage with a selfish attitude about what the other person will bring to us we are likely to fail.

Those who pretend to end a marriage through divorce by the decree of the land have not ended their marriage. They have the paper, they have the decree of the judge but they do not have either of these things from God.

Pretending to end a marriage by divorce is merely allowing adultery in the new marriage. It's not a new marriage as everyone seems to want to think, its adultery because the first marriage is still glued together.

Mark 10:11–12
"11 And he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, 12 and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

1 Corinthians 7:39
"39 A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord."

God said this and I believe Him.
