Till death do us part

[Popples]

When do you know its over

In a marriage we go through triles, heartaches and good times too. We take on a vow till death do us part, but when you dont feel anything anymore and just stay for particular reasons, kids maybe..you worry how the other will survive without you, when do you know its over????

That's just it, it's never over. Irrespective of how you may feel in the month of December 2006 or the next three months, it's never over.

When you decided to get married, you made an oath, firstly to God, then to your spouse. The only reason that constitutes Biblical divorce is when a husband or wife commits adultery, then it could be over.

If adultery took place it's in the hands of both parties, they can decide to work things out and continue their marriage, or they could Biblically decide to divorce. Whosoever decides to divorce doesn't matter, but the person who comitted the sin of adultery better repent from it and ask God for forgiveness.

It's never over, people change, circumstances change, God heals wounds.

God bless
Much love

Hi Popples,

The way I see it is that. As we learn to love God. His love will take over us and we will love those around us. I hope this would help you.

My Grandmother

Hi Popples,

I won't pretend that I understand your situation because I am not in your shoes. But I will say this, my Grandmother had every reason to leave my Grandfather because he was an alcoholic. He was like a time bomb ticking, anything could trigger his explosive anger. He would return home from work drunk and my grandmother would expect a beating. In all she went through my grandmother never once reteliated, but the one thing she did was pray for him. She never preached at him, or tried by her own strength to change him, all she did was pray, pray and pray ( and I'm sure it was not without many tears). It took a long time coming, but she never lost hope that God would answer her prayers, and eventually my Grandfather started changing.

He did become a great man of God, a commited Christian and a preacher, who helped the Church and the community, even building the first Church in his villiage.

I did live with my grandparents for quite a period of time and witnessed the change. My Grandfahter did not lay a hand on my Grandmother ever again and God transformed him into the Godly husband he was meant to be.

This is an example I will always remember and will take with me into my own marriage one day - of the power of prayer and how God can trully change all circumstances if you Trust Him and don't give up.

The only reason you should consider seperation is if your life and your children's life is threatened and in immediate danger.

May God answer your prayers as he did my Grandmother's and may he equipt you with all that you need not to give up and Win your marriage in the name of Jesus Our Lord And Saviour.

God bless!

Dear Popples
I am not married so i may not really understand what you really are feeling now, but when i read your question i remembered Peter asked Jesus the same qestion.

Matthew 18:20-22 (Amplified Bible)
21 Then Peter came up to Him and said, Lord, how many times may my brother sin against me and I forgive him and let it go? [As many as] up to seven times?
22 Jesus answered him, I tell you, not up to seven times, but seventy times seven!

God gives Grace which enables us to forgive seventy times seven

2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

Blessings

Hi Popples,

Just one more thing I would like to add, why would God make us promise something like "till death do us part..." in our marriage vows if he knew we couldn't keep it? That's because we can keep that promise if we put our Hope and Trust in Him.


Godbless!
