Now that I'm divorced, isn't any sex I have post marital?

Question

Is that why divorce is considered wrong?

My JP never said anything about a deity.

Answer 1

No, no, no. Any sex you have that isn't authorized by somebody's invisible sky-daddy is bad. Divorce is bad because it frees adults to have more unauthorized sex.

Answer 2

Well, technically yes it is "post marital", but I'm assuming since you brought up divorce, that you're asking if it is "adultery".

The reason that divorce is considered wrong is because it is breaking a commitment that you made before God to be with the other person for the rest of your life (good/bad, sickness/health, till death do us part)!

The bible does recognize legitimate reasons for a divorce (e.g., marital infidelity) and I believe that the victim of marital infidelity is free after the divorce...in those circumstances, the divorce would mean that sex after it was "pre-marital" unless you wait until you're married again. If you divorced for an non-legitimate reason, then yes, any sex you have after that is post marital or adultery.

Answer 3

First, I must point out that divorce is only wrong if it's for frivolous reasons ("We just simply fell out of love" or "I don't like the way he talks to my mother" or "She burns the food!")

Divorce for abuse, neglect, or adultery, or if a Christian is married to a non-Christian, and the non-Christian doesn't want to live reasonably with the Christian, then in each of these situations, divorce is not wrong. Of course, the first option is reconciliation and repentance and forgiveness, but sometimes there is no reconciliation.

Now, about sex - any sex outside of the marital relationship is sin. Sex with ANY body that you're not married to is sin.

Answer 4

Please, give me a break! Divorce is allowed if your marriage fails! if you have done all you can to make it work, and it doesn't? Well, then move on! Why torture yourselves, and however many children you have!
And as for sex? Sex is a very good thing, between two consenting adults! it is meant to be enjoyed, not to be made bad!

Answer 5

Yes, any sex now is not within marriage. Sex with your ex would technically be post-marital, but sex with anyone, including your ex, would be considered premarital.

People who consider divorce wrong generally do so for one of these reasons: God made it, so we shouldn't destroy it; or, you made a commitment and shouldn't have broken it.

Answer 6

Any sex outside marriage is considered fornication.

And divorce is not always considered wrong....it depends on the situation.

Answer 7

First of all if your spouse committed adultry then you can get remarried. Any sex outside of marriage is wrong. Divorce is a sin like any other only the consequences are different, a marriage is a union like Christ and his Church, a covenant. a vow. Christ will never break his covenant with the church and we shouldn't break our vows either.

Answer 8

Are you a Christian? Have you repented of your actions that led to your divorce? If so aren't you then forgiven, a clean slate? When you then have intercourse, you join yourself to that woman and consummate your "marriage" If you continue on with multiple partners aren't you then committing adultery and despising the forgiveness you've been given?

Answer 9

When you got married you took a vow, an oath, no divorce can ever fulfil that promise, You can never break a promise you can only fulfil it.

Answer 10

No, any sex you have outside of a marital relationship is sin.
