Is marring twice a sin?

[Ryan2203]

If you divorce or get married twice is that a sin?

[Takoda]

in 1972 after 7 years my first wife took off with another man. I was devastated. In retrospect it was a very good thing. My second wife and I celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary just a week ago. Life goes on.

It all depends on if your had a biblical divorce.

“And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another, commits adultery." Matt 19:9 RSV

Maybe his question is supposed to be: Is it a sin to get remarried after being divorced?

There are two biblical reasons for divorce and remarriage. That is if the spouse commits adultery Matthew 19:9 and desertion. That is if an unbelieving spouse leaves a spouse who is a Christian 1 Corinthians 7: 12-15.

If a spouse commits adultery , Biblically speaking , you are free to leave the marriage and marry another.Any other reason would be sinful.Like any other sin, it=is covered by the Blood of Jesus.That is not to be an endorsement of divorce or any other sin.You will pay for your sins here in your lifetime.I never met anybody who enjoyed a divorce .The Word “ grueling” does not do it justice.That will make many who lack compassion very happy and smug......God forbid that somebody would make a mistake and “ get away with it”

The greatest damage is to the children of divorced parents.  So many blame themselves or feel that the person who left them doesn't love them anymore.  They are victims.  Great care also must be taken when there is a new mother or father for them to adjust to.  It is not too uncommon for the new spouse to be abusive to the children.    Great care must be taken to believe what they tell you.  

Otherwise, we are also told that if you are a believer and your spouse is not, and they don't want to live with you, you should let them go peaceably.  Another place lists desertion as a valid reason for divorce.  The innocent person in all cases is allowed to remarry because the other person had broken the vows.  The person who broke the vows is not allowed to remarry.  At leas that is the way I understand it all.

Like Takoda, I've been there, done that, and really there are no winners there, but deep regret, sadness, emptiness, yes, anger, but mostly loneliness. As with Takoda, though not as long, my wife and I celebrated our 30th anniversary earlier this year, PTL.

I call that a success story. Congratulations.
