I have been taught in many churches that the Lord only allows a man once to marry unless his spouce id deceased. I have been divorced going on almost 9 years now and the single life is way OLD and I am a bit lonly, yet, am I wrong for desiring companionship? Sounds legalistic or is it holiness? Some even teach that if I remarry I will burn for it! Some say God is gracious and good and would allow me a second chance. What do you all think on the VERY HOT and much debated issue in the church over and concerning divorce and remarriage?

Get married again. My grandfather is pastor, and my dad has been married once before he married my mom. Its not fair for you to be alone for so long. God will forgive. Sometimes things just don't work out.

HONESTLY You do whatever makes you happy. l'm sorry l do not believe in all that Bible stuff. lt is a very old book and a lot of things have certainly changed since it was written. Everyone deserves to be loved and if you feel that will happen only by remarrying, then by all means do it. Just be happy, life is far too short not to be, make the most of your good life on this earth. Best of luck to you in the future .

mistake are bound to be made and hopefully you have been cautious, 9 years cautious. finding the right person may take time or it may jump out in front of you without you even seeing it. give yourself a break . there are higher callings and the right one may be standing before you stop looking and enjoying life a little.

My religion does not preclude remarriage. My thinking is that God wants us to be happy and loved and that he would approve.

Remember you only get one life, and should live it to the fullest, if this includes getting married again go for it!

If your marriage ended due to adultery or if your ex is not a believer or a non-practicing believer then you are free to remarry.

God knows that we make mistakes and he forgives us for them.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrightousness.
