“The Guilty Party”

Categories: MARRIAGE, RELATIONSHIPS
Is an adulterer able remarry after divorce, or are they to remain unmarried?

Sincerely,
Quizzical

Dear Quizzical,

Your question is an important one and is one that many christians wrestle with because of the high divorce rate in American society.  Adultery is wrong, and every divorce is caused because of sin.  God hates divorce (Mal 2:16), and His desire has always been for men and women to remain married for a lifetime (Matt 19:4-6).

Because of the complexities of this issue and because every circumstance is unique, we recommend that people with questions on this subject listen to the sermon series “Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage”, compare the sermons to Scripture, and then faithfully examine themselves to see whether they are living as God intended (Php 2:12).
