You have divorced & remarried, but your 1st spouse wants you back. If you're Christian, what should you do?

Particularly if your 1st spouse wants you to come back and live in a Christian marriage?





(Assume that infidelity played no role in the divorce.)





Since Jesus said that if you divorce someone and remarry, you're committing adultery, what is the appropriate Christian response to this circumstance?





Can you say you've truly repented from the divorce, join an evangelical church, and remain in good standing? Or do you need to leave your 2nd marriage and return to your 1st spouse?You have divorced %26amp; remarried, but your 1st spouse wants you back. If you're Christian, what should you do?
If you are remarried even though there was no adultery in your first marriage, you have committed adultery by the fact that you are married to the 2nd one because the bible only says that a divorce is allowed if one has committed adultery. You divorced, married again,( assuming you consomated the marriage) and therefore your first union is severed and if you repented, your second union will be okay. So going back to your first would be wrong and would be considered adultery again and they are no different than a stranger in Gods eyes.You have divorced %26amp; remarried, but your 1st spouse wants you back.

My mother married her first husband and had three children by him. He was always beating her and only coming in to get her pregnant again. Finally, she met my father and he married her after she got divorced (of which he helped pay for). Then a minister told my mother that she was living in sin and she had to go back to her first husband. Which was totally wrong because he had committed adultery way too many times to count. But she went back and left my father, after that the first husband beat her again, so she went back to my father. Then they had me and two other children and lived together 46 years before God took her home. And she was a good Christian woman that taught Sunday school and played an instrument and sang in church solos. She took us to church every time she could get there too.





I remarried my ex husband because I was told that it was biblical to do so instead of getting another husband. But it didn't work out either, so we divorced the second time.
God only allowed divorce due to the hardness of their hearts. Sin complicates everything. Follow your heart. I do not think anyone would leave their current spouse unless they were miserable and they loved the other person more and... oh my head hurts.





We will not be given in marriage in heaven, so there are no eternal consequence to this, but barring extenuating circumstances I would stay put, and realize what a mess sin could make of my life.
if you believed in Jesus that much, why did you divorce and remarry in the first place? it sounds like you miss the first person and want to come up with any excuse to get back with them. why dont you reflect on whatever reasons you had for getting a divorce. i pity whoever you married second as you sound very selfish and irresponsible.
Wow, stop getting married. You'd walk away from your second marriage due to this? That's not very nice to the second husband, how would you feel if the situation was reversed. Forget citing the Bible on this, its your lack of morals and commitment putting you in this position, am I right?? I sure hope your not dragging children through all of this.
too late if you divorced and it was not due to adultery you committed sin, it can be forgive through Christ. So whatever choice He guides you to is the one that should be made.
The Gospel of John Chapter 4 verses 16-19. Christ's words not mine.
I would stay in my second marriage.
Did you ever consolidate God when you divorced in first place?
Whatever you want.
