shibboleth:
My daughter has been married to her husband for about 8 years now. They have been separated for over half of those years. Everytime she tries to divorce him, something comes up and it just hasn't happened yet. Her husband now has a live-in girlfriend who has a baby with him. My 2 grandkids are in the middle of this mess. My daughter is a wonderful Christian and is doing everything to make her children have a stable home. Her husband just can't see how much his actions are hurting everyone. I have forgiven him and hold no grudges against him.
I really think it is hard to give an answer to these kinds of dilemas because of all the circumstances involved. But I pray your frien makes the right decision.

Karen:
I see that this isnt a very good situations. I will pray for this. As for her husband, how cant see his actions. God will deal with this young man. Healing will come for yur daughter and grandkids. Have faith in Christ and keep praying. I can say I am still married. But I can see that all do not make it. God saved my marries. I do not believe in divorce. I have a Aunt who is still married to her husband of 46. She doesnt live with him.Raised two children that was his.But she would not give him freedom. By the law, they are still married.This man moved to another state and is married to another woman. I dont know why I told you that story. I feel that the who thing is crazy. May the Lord lead your daughter to do whats best for her family.

When I read the "Lake of Fire" series....I felt that I had finally found what I had been looking for....someone skilled in handling the truth of God's Word....it was life changing and very refreshing....many of you may have also experienced the same....well....on the divorce issue....if you are ready to stand on your own two feet and answer what the "church" and the "world" says about divorce....I might offer this source to you for a start...
"Divorce..God's Will?" by Stephen Gola  ....his email is info@divorcehope.com I'll let you take it from there, I'm not here to promote his book, but it makes radical sense!  Remember:  God cares more for the people in an institution than the institution itself....He not only gave the wives of his people to other men (I'll quote it below) but He divorced Israel himself! (see also below):

"Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them:..." Jeremiah 8:10 KJV

"And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also." Jeremiah 3:8 KJV

When God joins two sepparate people in marriage... they become one...sometimes, I think that we forget that God still has the right and ability to take the Sword and divide them again; sometimes to save the children (not hurt them) sometimes to save one or both of the individuals....and sometimes to heal them to the point sepperately that they can come together again, as one.  Are we not, indeed, being taken out of "the harlot" ourselves right now?  And for what purpose? So that we can be joined in marriage to Christ? Like all the other "evil" and "hard" things that God uses to chasten us and purify us...sometimes divorce is necessary!
One last point....it was the bill of divorcement that posed the problem in the New Testament....not the actual divorce itself.  Let me know what you think. joyful1[/i]

Just two more verses to consider:
"Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away?" Isaiah 50:1 KJV

"Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives." Eza 10:11 KJV
