Question: Breaking wedding vows?

(Posted by: MK on 2008-05-28 21:07:48)

If one or both people in who are married to each other break their marriage/ wedding vow does God still look at them as married to each other? Christian view...

You are still married, but now you are on the waterslide to hell...

God is a mythical being invented to keep you in control. Even if he was real, what makes you think anyone could tell you what he/ she/ it really thinks?

If you are married, you are married until death parts you (that's what the Christian ceremony says) or until you get a divorce, so, yeah. Unless there has been a divorce, you are still married.

YES, unless one of them dies. If you divorce, and marry someone else, God still considers it adultery. The Bible says he HATES divorce!

Mat 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

God would consider it a double fault basically and yes your still married. "What God has brought together, let man not separate " its not just for show. God intends that its forever. in fact, somewhere in the bible it states that if your divorced and remarried its considered adultery. (sorry can't remember the passage.) Divorce is a big deal with God. (there you go the guy before me has me covered)

I think God does. Consider that the Bible says the Church is the "Bride of Christ. " Christ does not divorce His Bride, although we break vows constantly with our sinful nature. My parents have been married nearly 48 years and I've come to understand how they manage it. Its certainly not because they haven't "broken wedding vows. " Loving, honoring and cherishing 24/ 7/ 365 is impossible for mere mortals! My parents' marriage has lasted because they are able to truly forgive each other and never bring it up again.

I don't see why not... In God's eyes we are all sinners but that doesn't mean we are no longer Christian if we commit a sin. We all make mistakes and God also realizes that we are not perfect. If both people want to work it out and stay together then they would still be married.

If they both do it, He looks at them as deserving each other.

Not after they're divorced. Before they're divorced, they're still married. Imperfect people, yes, but still married.

A god of unconditional love and forgiveness does. i don't know of any other.

Biblical view...if a spouse cheats the other has a right to a divorce

Marriage is a human invention. legally you are still married, religiously i'm sure you are still married, but you have grounds for divorce, you shouldn't be in a relationship if you aren't happy. Jenxx
