OK so, my husband has never been married before me, never been engaged before me, never registered for a domestic partnership with anyone, never had a civil union or common law marriage, never said marriage vows to anyone but me, and never was promised to marry anyone. I know the Bible says not to marry a divorced man who divorced for reasons other than adultery, so from I told you, it's OK to be married to my husband right? Is there anything else I need to worry about?

You cannot show me in the Bible where it says you cannot marry a divorced man it is not there.
In the Old Testament, only the man could divorce his wife. Deut. 24:1-2 states if a man find no favour in a wife he can give her a "Bill of Divorcement" and send the woman from his house and she is free to go and marry another.
Also in the Old Testament ONLY the woman could commit "sexual adultery". The man was guilty of stealing another man's property.
Please read the following information and learn the truth!

These are only two of my very extended amount of information on this subject.
There is nothing you should be concerned about if you read and understand the information I have given you!

It goes for a divorced woman too. So long as you're not divorced as well.
Marriage in God's eyes is not the signed legal documents. It's the vows you made together before God (til death do we part) and the consumation of it that night in your marriage bed.
In the Bible, a man and a woman become one. You can't be one with two different people (a divorce by the law, is not a divorce in God's eyes. You're still married to that person you exchanged vows with, regardless of whether the state thinks so or not).

Are you divorced?
If you, too, do not have any other marital partners, then you would be free to marry. If you are divorced, then you should not marry - unless your previous spouse has died.
But you sound like there are other things you are worried about... Why do you ask this question?
email me and we can talk about it!
god bless

You need to not worry about anything, including the things you listed, if you follow Jesus! You do, however, need to use wisdom and discernment, and you need to not become unevenly yoked with an unbeliever. It doesn't matter if he was married, engaged, has kids, etc. Who is he now??? Does he love Jesus, and you!!! Most importantly, don't ask this question to us strangers in this forum, ask God!!! Pray to Him for guidance.

Not all guys speak the truth.You said "never said marriage vows to anyone but me, and never was promised to marry anyone."This sentence sound great but you will never know the truth if he does not speak up.So please don't say that till you parted.Adultery is to have sex beyond your own married partner.Simple and nice.Most guys cannot resist sex till he stop or reduce sex desired.Merry Christmas.

Greetings Friend,
Forget about the past. It is gone - yours and his. The big question is do you love each other and are you willing to stay with each other and be faithful to each other.
Do you accept him the way that he is? Does he accept you the way that you are? If you love each other, then go for it.
sending love,

Unless he's committing adultery on you, well that's a different problem.
Why do I sense you have the old cold feet problem?

Your husband is good to go but you failed to mention your own status. If your status is similar in virtue than God bless and be fruitful.

The only thing you need to concern yourself with is does He love you and do you love him.
Since your asking this question I'm assuming you are a Christian.
If you and him have accepted Christ and repented of past sins why are you worried.
