YellowStone:
Thank you Kat,

That is exactly how I see it. Thanks for standing up for the Scriptures as you understand them. I read them as you.

Your brother in Christ,

Darren

I also married a divorced woman. My wife was in an abusive marriage when she was younger. My first child was my step-daughter. She was 1 when I met her, she's now 9!

Darren I totally relate to ya and agree with you 110% man. Biological means nothing to me. My daughter is as much mine, yet even more, than her "real" dad's daughter, and she's mine just as her younger sister and brother are. I was the only father she had until "Chris dad" came back around. That's what she calls him. I'm daddy, he's Chris Dad. She was almost 3 when his parents sued for visitation rights. Things are much better now, but these fundamentalists who say divorce is always wrong will never sway me.

Law? What Law? Jesus came to usher that out. We're under the covering of a New Covenant where a woman doesn't have to put up with being abused and used her whole life. I'm sure I can get an "AMEN" from the women from that one!  ;D ;D

Something interesting on a side note, and I don't know if any of the other married people on the forum had this experience or not, but when I met my wife, way before we were married, it felt as though God had already married us. I mean truely it did. We had many discussions about that before we'd been married. It felt as though we needn't get the license and the certificate, that those didn't matter. It seemed to us that in God's eyes, we'd already married. I don't know. Maybe we were just crazy kids in love. Sure seemed like God though!  :)

Hi Matt,

This can open a big can of worms.

1Co 7:2  But because of the temptation to immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

Here's an email from Ray.

   Dear Reader:

    Pre-marital sex is just as much a sin as extra-marital sex. If you want to

    sleep together, get married.  If you don't love each enough to marry,

    don't sleep together..

    God be with you,

I haven't gotten to the marriage audios yet.  Do they by any chance address where/how to go about finding a like minded believer suitable for marriage?  I've been single for a while now and have recently gotten to a point in my life where I'd like to have someone else to share it with.  I thought the field was thinned enough for me when I was in the church and trying to only find another in the church so that I wouldn't have to face the challenge of being "unequally yoked."  ;)  Now that I've come to BT, the field seems to be even thinner.  After reading through the forums I have seen over and over again where many of you were already married when you came across BT and now you and your spouse are no longer of the same beliefs.  I'm not interested in going through that at any point in a relationship, so I'd prefer to not get in one in the first place where we aren't on the same page.  I suppose that I could just sit back and wait until a suitable like minded lady bumps into me.  But that's always seemed to me akin to needing a job and sitting around the house hoping the phone will just magically ring with an empoyer on the other end looking to hire an employee with my exact skill set.  Its always made more sense to me to actually look in the classifieds and send out resumes.   Now though I don't know where find the classifieds to look through in order to send out resumes.  It never seemed to be at the clubs, now its not in the church, it sure doesn't seem right to be trying to hunt through the members section on this forum.  Perhaps someone knows of a thread on here where this has already been addressed or perhaps it is mentioned by Ray in his marriage audios?  Thanks, Mike

Kat:

Hi Mike,

No I don't think that Ray went into that in the marriage audio.  It was mainly about what the Bible teaches about the marriage ceremony.  That little piece of paper has a lot of weight in God's eye.

But I can see your situation. 
It seems to me, that you should pray for God to guide you in this matter. 

I don't think you should limit yourself to a particular place, where you may find a person you can relate to.  God may lead you to find someone in the most unlikely place.  Leave all possibilities open to meet someone.
I do not think you should have a list of requirements either, give a person a chance to start off with.  By limiting it to a believer, I think your chances are near zero  :-\  Those that believe this truth are few and far between.  Of course you want someone that will be understanding and except your beliefs, but finding someone that already has these beliefs, well if you don't mind traveling  ;)
I think if you are realistic, and look for someone who has a good character, that is what is important.  God will works this out, listen to your heart.

mercy, peace, and love
Kat
