Christian divorce?Is this marriage ordained by man or God?

The only grounds for biblical divorce is infidelity by the man or woman.

If a christain woman is married to a man who abuses her physically and verbally yet is a total christain and you didn’t leave him, I’d think you to be something less than a woman, and both of you deserving of hellish fate.

I’ve seen catholics tho, just don’t re-marry, then you’ll always uphold your vow’s.

(P.S, if that is a serious question then you already know the answer to the real question of what you want).

Nobody should stay in an abusive situation.

Divorce happens.

It may have not been a Sacramental union in the first place.

Peace!

The only grounds for divorce WITH A VIEW TO REMARRIAGE is fornication (adultery). She does not have to stay with somebody beating her brains out. She may separate. She may divorce. BUT, the only grounds that will allow her to remarry is adultery.

Matthew 19:9

Hannah J Paul

If she converted AFTER she married him she must stay with him unless he commits adultery. If she married him when she was a Christian and he was not a Christian then the marriage was a self inflicted wound as Christians are told not to be unequally yoked. The marriage presumably required her to take vows before a civil magistrate or a priest (God). But she can’t just up and leave him and say God says it is okay. BUT physical abuse? THAT ought to be enough to get a separation or put a legal restraining order on him or call the cops and have him arrested. That is not divorcing him but she should not put up with being beaten up by the man.

Look in 1 Corinthians 7:12-15. Paul gives his opinion to the Christians there. He says that if a Christian is married to a non-Christian, and the non-Christian is “pleased to dwell” with them, that they should stay in the marriage. However if the non-Christian wants out, let them go. As Christians, we are called to besuppose to live safe and peaceful lives. I would say that a person who is physically and verbally abusive is not “pleased to dwell” with them.

If he abuses her physically the process is for her to get him removed from the home with an order of protection ordering him to seek counseling for his violent behavior.

Once he is removed from the home, if he fails to go to counseling and make an effort to make the marriage work then she is free to divorce him based on 1 Cor 7:15

15But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.

Pastor Art

there are certain situations that are grounds for divorce
God doesnt want you to be unhappy or continue living with abuse…we all make mistakes and bad decisons
there are laws in a marriage that you vow to
when you break those laws…you are not bound to them

The husband is commanded to love his wife as Jesus loved the church. That does not mean be a punching bag. Yes women should be submissive, but in the face of cruelty.
He is the head and he is in disobedience of God’s Law.
So at the very least get the heck out of there before he has a chance to do more harm.
If you want to save this relationship you need counseling from your pastor or minister. As well as professional in his case anyway. I’ve seen these things go bad. When violence is involved you can’t reason with anyone. Get out quick worry about the lawyer and preacher later.
God Bless!

The answer can be found in Corinthians chapter 7 verse 15-16. Hope it was of some help

yes

Usually yes, she can have the marriage annulled. God isn’t there to do the work of a marriage.

Matthew 19:3-9 explain exactly what Christ thinks of divorce. No I don’t think you should stay with a man who abuses you, but you do not have to divorce him. You can separate and try counciling. If counciling doesn’t work, just separate to never marry again. If you are a Christian you are bound to that man for life, so even if our law says you can divorce, in the eyes of Christ you are still married and if you re-marry you commit adultery. 1 Corinthians 7:12-16 speaks of divorce if one is a believer and the other is not.

According to what I have learned of catholics there is NO divorce’s allowed

She needs to remove herself from the marriage. Jesus is the head of your household since your husband is not taking it upon himself to be the head of the wife like God commanded it to be! Let Jesus be the lover of your soul! Besides, he is all we need anyway!

Jesus I pray that you give this woman strength for her journey, joy for her sorrow, healing for her wounds, and I pray she hides herself under your wing! Protect her mind, heart, and body from abuse and raise a standard against the enemy attacking her! COme in like a flood Holy Spirit and reveal knew light and glory to her. In JESUS MIGHTY NAME! Amen!

Yes! God does not expect you to stay in a relationship like that. He gives us reasons we can divorce.

According to the bible you can only divorce if the other party had committed adultery.
