Is remarriage after divorce adultery?

Answer 1

Absolutely not. Especially if you were the innocent party in the divorce. Human beings were not made to live alone. God made us to live in couples: man and wife.

Legalistic interpretations of Christianity would say "Yes", but our Savior was far more humane than the legalists of His time. I believe He is still compassionate and understands our weaknesses.

Answer 2

There has to be other valid reasons for divorce other than adultery. Abuse is an obvious one but marriage is a very complicated thing. So to say adultery and abuse are the only reasons in the eyes of God to divorce seems too simplistic to me. If your spouse was embezzling money from you, why would it be a sin to leave that person? Yes, there are some couples out there who give up too early and don't try to work things out. I can't cover all the possible problems that might occur in marriage but in most cases, a little therapy and preserverance would save your relationship.

But I can't see any logical reason why God would want people who really can't work out their differences (that is after they tried therapy and all) to stay married. In that case, staying together isn't good for the either half of the couple (or kids if they have them). And you should wait a while to have another relationship after you divorce. Sounds like obvious common sense but there are a lot of people who don't do that (and I'll estimate that 90% of their second marriages fail).

Answer 3

It's going to depend on who's interpretation of this you go by. If you are a Catholic, the technical answer is yes, but there is a way around that. If there were extenuating circumstances to the divorce (such as he beat you, he was sterile and so you couldn't have children, lots of other reasons, etc.) then oftentimes the church (actually the Vatican) will take steps to make it so that the first marriage practically never happened, at least in the eyes of the church, leaving you free to remarry in the eyes of the church. When this happened to my mom after my parents divorced and my father wanted to remarry (they had been married in a Methodist church despite the fact that she was a baptized, but not a practicing Catholic), she was furious and asked the priest, "So, are you telling me my child from that marriage is illegitimate?!" They had no good answer for that.

Answer 5

**Is remarriage after divorce adultery?

Matthew 5:32
But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

Answer 6

If your spouse committed adultery first you can divorce them and remarry, it is best to try and work things out though. If you divorce your spouse and they did not give you scriptural grounds for a divorce and you remarry and have sex, yes you are committing adultery. Once you commit adultery, then your ex-spouse would be free to remarry without committing adultery.

Answer 7

Yes, unless the divorce was caused by adultery. That is my general interpretation.

Answer 8

yup...it depends on the divorce. if the man left the woman or vice versa becos she or he cheated, then its the only condition to divorce, according to the bible, but for any other reason its a big sin to divorce, and whoever marries a divorced person is guilty of Adultery or fornication.......according to the bible.

Answer 9

If you read deeply into it, then yes it is. God joined man and woman together and no man can put it asunder. If said man and woman were divorced, it would be in man's eyes only, not God's. God still considers them married. So if you remarry, then, yes, you are committing adultery.
