One of the reasons I am an ex-Catholic is that I had to leave my first husband before he killed or maimed me. I have no problem with having given up a religion that required I stay married to a wife-beater. And yes, I got married three times more, and also "lived in sin," as you put it, with more than one of those before I married him, and a couple I didn't marry.
What a long, strange trip it's been!

I have been married once. That is enough for me. I was so angry because I married a person that I wouldn't have associated with in high school. He drank, used drugs, hardly worked and argued and made our five daughters lives miserable. After being a chairwoman for three years for our chapter of A-anon, and losing a baby, I'd finally reasoned that I was the bread winner, I owned the house, and the car(he totalled his dui), I raised our children, and put myself through to college. What did I need him for. But most of all, I realized that my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ did not put me on this planet to be miserable. Misery loves company. I am married to the Lord. So no I would I would choose not to live in sin. Check out the resource below.

I do not think I could "Live in Sin". As a Christian, I was raised and continue to believe that you can only be married once and like Jesus said re-marrying or shacking up equals adultery and fornication. As he specifically spoke out against this sin, I do not think I could ever comfortably "shack up". Although it would be hard, as people get lonely, it is still important to do what we know is right.

I am in no hurry to tie the knot. I rather become a Chimay making Trappist monk than get married at this point of my life.

It depends on how it failed, if my unbelieving spouse left me, I would not be at fault and I would be allowed to remarry. I may still choose to persue and pray for my estranged husband (and I would because he is the most awesome man on the planet) but it would be within my rights to remarry and move on with my life.
It is never ok for me to initiate a divorce though.

I pray to God I wouldn't. But I can't say I will never do it because I believe, as the Bible says, There is no temptation taken you but such is common to man. I'm not exempt.
P.s.
i dont believe i will ever get married to the wrong man. My engagement will be by betrothal. :)

heh they do it all the time, having an affair is only a sin if someone else does it.

i trust that whenever I get married, it will be to someone who God has chosen for me, hence it won't fail, even if there are tough times. What God has joined, let no man put asunder; God hates divorce, etc.
