Is Tina the same as Tija? WOW! I met you in chat early one morning and saw you and your your baby and thought right then what a shame such a young thing should be facing such an issue in her life. I am flat out amazed AND equally proud of you if you are the one to have floored this thread. It was a very well presented and the respondants were for the most part quite positive and nurturing. I am very impressed with the level of maturity you express your desire for all of the Believers to hold firmly their understanding and beliefs but to as strongly exercise the spirit of unity amongst the household of God. We are blessed to have the opportunity to be in a candy dish with several flavors, all of a sweet savor, to glorify God in our unity and enhance each other in our fellowship. God bless you and Ms and all the myriad single ladies who fought for their marriages yet stay faithful to God in their loss. God shall bless you, each one, with His Amazing Grace for that faithfulness. Love to you all. GPaHauck

Thank you all so much for your response. I started this survey to find out the motivation on both sides. I am not judging those who would never date someone whos been divorced, but I want to understand what makes them believe that way. I have been touched by a lot of those posts.
I myself face a divorce. But I believe in Gods grace through what we are saved, not by deeds. God knows I was willing to take all steps to safe this marriage. But like I said One alone can not save a marriage if the partner deciedes to end it at any cost.
I hope this survey will continue since I look forward to read more views. But never forget to listen to both sides and treat each other with respect. I have talked to someone who believes in not dating someone who is divorced. We had a great discussion without makeing the other person feel bad. I hope that people will learn to accept diffrent views and become more able to talk about sensetive subjects with each other. For those who are sitting in the same boat as I do, I want to say something:
Never forget that we can conquer this hardship. With Gods grace and his mercy we will overcome the pain, the loneliness, the trials and also ourselfs (feelings, emotions, fears). If we as brothers and sisters through Christ stick together and help us build a stronger faith, the devil will fail. Marriage is about unity, unity with God and each other. But also is friendship. This is why we as christians should help each other through those situations, no matter on which side (believe wise and life wise) we are. I truly believe Jesus would not walked by us and looked on us like we are outcasts. I believe he would came, picked us up and walked with us. If Jesus would do so, why are we not doing the same (at least a lot of times, and in certain areas)?
Now a message to everybody:
Keep your eyes open. The devil is working among us. He is not just hurting those who are going through divorce, but also the friendships between brothers and sisters through Christ. If we as christians step away from someone because there is or was a sin in their life, the devil already succeded in one way. Because he knows that FELLOWSHIP between brothers and sisters is a very powerfull weapon agains him. Do you see where the devil is destroying opportunities in your life for fellowship or where he is destroying fellowship between other christians. If you realise it, then you already become aware. When you are aware then you can fight it and the devil lost his ground.
I keep you all in prayers. Don't forget I am not trying to change people or the way they think. All I want is make people wonder, start to think. That is the only way of learning and the only way of growing closer to God. But you alone can deciede which is the "right" path for you (pray about it!).
God bless you all, your sister through Christ
Tina

It is my belief that we enter into marriage with the desire to be together on this earth and the earth made new.
The death of a marriage is always sad, it is not the time to point fingers at who is right or who is wrong. Our real enemy is the same one who caused discord in a place that knew no discord.
I believe we need to move on, and look to the future which still holds the promise of making ourselves ready for Jesus' soon coming.
Praise God for those folks who have never had the trauma of divorce pierce their souls! It takes a very special kind of person to survive the death of a marriage.
We are very special people, we are not outcasts, rather, we are soldiers who have been made stronger in our determination to continue on this journey called, "Life;" and by the Grace of God we will
finish this race with or without a mate.
It is OK to cry, it is OK to mourn, but, we do not need to answer to anyone other than our Father, who knows and understands all.
May God richly bless those of us who continue to walk without a spouse and may we all keep our eyes fixed on the One who promised never to leave us nor forsake us.
Praise the Lord!

I am in complete accord with lady who posted the above response. Christians seem forgiving to almost anything - alcoholism, drug addictions, criminal convictions, etc. But those who have never experienced divorce can be extremely judgmental towards those who have. These types of people make our pain far greater than it already is with their unloving spirit.
The Lord can forgive even the so-called "guilty" party in divorce, let alone the one who was divorced against their will. Laws today make it possible for one to leave and end a marriage without the other's consent.
Although it pains me greatly, and I hate to admit it, I have been twice divorced, both times not my desire or choice. In both cases my wife made a decision to abandon me and the marriage, refusing to attempt to work out the problems. While I will not say I was without any mistakes in the marriages, I did not do anything biblically wrong where they had grounds for abandonment. In the second situation, she admitted she was interested in, and attracted to, someone else. Later she admitted they had slept together. Whereas I was willing to work out the issues and save the marriages-they were not, even though I tried to get them to come with me to Christian counseling. I did everything possible, including prayer, to save those marriages. But ultimately, the free will God granted them was used for them to just do what they wanted, breaking up what He had joined together.
I have great sorrow at having failed twice in marriage, but I have asked the Lord to forgive my transgressions, as well as my former spouses. I trust our Lord who says to go to Him about all things, casting our burdens on Him. Since He has forgiven me, and those relationships have permanently ended, I have moved on. I've grown and learned, and seek His will for the future, whether be it singleness, or He lovingly allows me another chance at a Godly marital union.

So you make it sound like that there has to be adultry in the marriage in order for someone to get remarried, so if someone gets devorced at 25 then they are surpose to sit around by themselves like an outcast for the next 60 years while they wait for the exspouse to remarry first. are you sure that is what the bible means?
