Meaning what? Do you flout something upon that?
I was abandoned by my wife who divorced me against my will. The only reason I took part in the proceedings was to be sure I got time with my kids and that she didn't take everything from me.
My girlfriend's ex-husband cheated on her many times.
So, I will be married to a divorced woman. We are both free to remarry. Her because her spouse continually cheated on her and me because I was abandoned by my spouse and divorced.
I don't care what your interpretation of the scriptures are as there are exception clauses on top of divorce and remarriage not being the unpardonable sin.
I pray your marriage is blessed, and that you both find happiness together and that your children and blessed.

As for me Jesus's judgment stands firm. So if that condition came up I would ask the Lord in prayer for permission."Whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery." Jesus in Matt. 5:32.

You prayed to God about it and He answered youm who then can judge you - nobody can.Thank you! This has been the best relationship I have ever been in by far. We rarely argue, we're happy, we don't snipe at each other, and our families like the the person we're dating.
We both prayed to God to find the person we should be with and a few days later, he and I met.
My kids love her and her son tolerates me, but he's an anti-social teen, so that's too be expected. He actually does like me, we just tease him about being anti-social at times.
Her and I will not be having any kids as I have been snipped and she remains on birth control to control her periods. I am also 46 and don't have the energy for an infant let alone a toddler. My youngest is six, so he keeps me plenty busy.

I don’t see how Mark 20:11 fits in.Excellent question. God has indeed provided.
Matt. 19:9
Mark 20:11
1 Cor. 7:11 & 7:15
Thanks for catching my typo, it should read Mark 10:11.I don’t see how Mark 20:11 fits in.
Earlier, you wrote this.
because of unequal yoking with an unbeliever.
This statement appears to be lacking and misleading.
The structure of your writing is from a believers perspective. On its own, it infers that a believer can divorce an unbelieving spouse based on their unbelief. For clarity, would you affirm or deny this? Can you also explain why, giving biblical interpretation supporting your view?
In regard to Matthew 19:9, what constitutes sexual immorality? What constitutes adulatory? And do you view these two words analogous?
