There is something that I had a question about concerning divorce and re-marriage. At first, I was under the impression that re-marrying was only allowed once your spouse had past away to Heaven. And only then wold re-marrying be an option. But then I heard someone saying that if one's spouse was unfaithful then the faithful spouse may re-marry. Is that true?? You see, I am a divorced mother of a 1 1/2 year old little boy. My ex-husband (who was a non-believer) cheated on me then chose another woman. I was getting used to the idea that I would never have the opportunity to really date ever again, since marriage is not an option, why date right?? But if his infidelity is an exception I would like to know, as I am only 24 and if possible would like to give my son a 2 parent home, so he will have the opportunity to experience what a true happy family looks like and what to look for when the time comes for him. Thank you for your time and clarification on this matter

You'll get a vast array of responses on this one! Coffee Talk is intended to focus on personal experiences in the work, rather than on doctrinal discussions - those are well-covered in the main boards . . .

Ok, sorry! I have never posted on here and was a little unclear. Thank you though! I have heard that different regions have different policies on this issue, which I found odd...

Zoe, I'd be happy to fill you in with my experiences and discussions with workers. If you'd like, please PM me. I'll give you my email, and we can 'talk'. I was a single mom for 20 years after an unfaithful (non-believer) husband left to be with another woman, so certainly feel for you in your situation.

Al If you reread the title Zoe's question was for workers. You're correct, shushy - I realized it at the time I replied too, and did hesitate, as I don't wish to overstep any bounds here. But I was asked to moderate this board, and this is the policy I have implemented so far, as far as discussing doctrine here. This policy could definitely be changed, if there were reason. I'm not trying to exclude anyone, but rather to not create a redundant board, that discusses things discussed elsewhere . . . and perhaps the personal experiences and comfort some of you have offered Zoe in the above posts might mean more than another lengthy debate on divorce and remarriage.

This message has been moved to Truth Meetings Board by Scott Ross. The problem is that this thread was started by an unregistered member. They can post here, which was allowed so workers could feel free to post in this area without being a registered member. I moved the topic to the main board just so it could be discussed. HOWEVER.... if a worker wishes to address this issue, feel free to do so on one of these threads, or feel free to send me an email and I will post the response for you. This was the original question from Zoe: There is something that I had a question about concerning divorce and re-marriage. At first, I was under the impression that re-marrying was only allowed once your spouse had past away to Heaven. And only then wold re-marrying be an option. But then I heard someone saying that if one's spouse was unfaithful then the faithful spouse may re-marry. Is that true?? You see, I am a divorced mother of a 1 1/2 year old little boy. My ex-husband (who was a non-believer) cheated on me then chose another woman. I was getting used to the idea that I would never have the opportunity to really date ever again, since marriage is not an option, why date right?? But if his infidelity is an exception I would like to know, as I am only 24 and if possible would like to give my son a 2 parent home, so he will have the opportunity to experience what a true happy family looks like and what to look for when the time comes for him.
