Divorce Or Separation? by TOPCRUISE(m): 7:32am On Jul 19, 2020
In situations of discovery of massive Paternity frauds, uncontrollable cheating and adultery and series of attempted murder by a partner, is Divorce the way out or Separation?

One of my Sunday School sessions sometime ago said Divorce is not the way out even if a partner made several attempts to kill you through various means in your house and that it's better to separate. Another group opined that since you are both married you are not expected to leave the house. That by leaving you are giving room for the enemy to take over your home.

Most Churches are also of the view that Divorce is no solution as it is held scripturally that God hates divorce. And I read that divorce is permitted if one partner have been sexually unfaithful. But such permission is due to our wicked hearts. But I still find it difficult to comprehend why some of our religious leaders in religious gathering still won't opt for a divorce and neither a separation in a case where paternity, maternity fraud and adultery which have been kept secret for years were later found to be discovered.

if the victim decides to forgive his/her partner, then the union can go on provided the abuser desists from the act. otherwise, the victim should get a divorce if he/she wishes to.

Righteousness69...To be Honest with you sir , with the way you are going, you may be back here with tears and stories that touch the heart in no distant time..



If you are Genuinely seeking a Spouse , my Advice to you is to ask GOD ALMIGHTY in prayers to show you your wife!

Not all these fairytales!
You are right bro. Not all these fairly tales .This is the major problem with Christianity marriage. We spiritualize relationship. Relationship is more of canal than spiritual. Why don't we seek God when making new friends? Why must it be in relationship. Even in the holy book, there's no where God told Someone this is your wife, right from Adam, to Jacob, to Joseph, to Isaac, to David, to Solomon. They all went to search for what they want in a woman. Even the greatest plan God have for mankind which was Jesus Christ, God never told Joseph this is your wife Mary; marry her. So why must we ask God to show you want you want? Is it God that want to marry her?

I don't blame you, I blame most of these pastors that see visions for other people. Imagine a pastor telling a grown up guy to go to street x, he should branch after the third turning. He will see a house painted brown. He should find the door made of iron. He should knock and enter. The lady wearing pink shirt with white skirt is his wife. I just laugh.

Even after seeing some red signs, they still stick with the relationship. Afterall, it's God that showed me and my pastor approved it. No wonder Christian marriages have the highest number of divorce.

A divorce partner is better than a dead one!

If it's violent, get out. Don't die in the union. That's all I'm gonna say.

Re: Divorce Or Separation? by philip0906(m): 10:01am On Jul 19, 2020
The Bible was written based on happening back in the days although with hindsight of the future. What this means is that it is not exhaustive and there are question marks with contemporary happenings since there are so many laws and guides that are not explicit to fit into modern day.

For instance, there is rarely or NO record of paternity fraud back in the days. I have heard stories of churches, dissolving marriages based on partners lying to each other (before marriage) e.g the man not disclosing his impotence before getting married. There are also instances where marriages are dissolved (after marriage) because of issues as paternity fraud.

Just look at the crimes you listed up there:
massive Paternity frauds, uncontrollable cheating and adultery and series of attempted murder by a partner
and you're still asking if its divorce or separation. My brother I have a third and better option for you: Annulment. It means to wipe out the marriage as if it never existed. The only reason I would even advise you to 'manage' divorce is if any of the children involved is yours.

Violence - - - - separate asap
Unrepentant infidelity.... Separate, do a risk assessment, go for counselling, reappraise current behaviour against his /her good points vis a vis your list of complete no-nos

Set your likelihood scales with 2nd + 3rd scenarios.

Only then take a step with timed interventions


Sounds mechanical but sure helps guide the process.

Separation is highly recommended especially in cases where there’s a threat to life of one of the partners. You can always come back after issues are resolved.

That group saying a partner should remain in an abusive marriage even at the sight death is wrong. If abuse has gotten to that height, then its advisable to " separate " for sometime while the problem is being resolved. Don't stay there and die!

All that said, don't marry outside the faith to avoid all these brouhaha. Of course a real Christian marriage will not experience this kind of abuse/domestic violence especially to the point of killing each other. Only those who marry "pretending Christians" will likely experience such. That's why there's need to take time and pray before jumping into marriage with any bro or sis cos most of them are not genuine.

Shalom.
