Biblically speaking, should I pursue this relationship?
Hi All,
Recently, I’ve been introduced to a woman, Ariana, by mutual friends of hers and mine.
Ariana and I went on a date this past weekend. It was fun, and there seems to be attraction between she and I.
There is one potential problem, however. While I am single, and have never been married, Ariana is divorced. Her husband was not a Christian (she is), and he has moved on with his life. He now lives in another country, is remarried, and is a father by his new wife there.
As I understand it, Ariana and her husband got divorced because they argued a lot (personality clashes). During their marriage he also apparantly forbid her from attending church.
Is it biblically okay for me to keep dating Ariana (she seems open to the idea), or would it be best for me to leave this one alone?
Opinions, please.
Thanks.
Ask God, only the Holy Spirit can lead you to the right decision.
Jesus tells us that the only reason for divorce is adultery, however, the Law was finished when Christ was rejected by the Law.
Now we under Grace and we have been given the Holy Spirit to help us understand scripture, what is right and what is wrong.
You have to ask the Holy Spirit. Time to start praying in faith.
