- Divorce and remarriage to another after divorce is never permissible.
- There are legitimate Biblical grounds for divorce, but not for remarriage.
- Divorce and remarriage is permissible in cases of adultery and desertion.
- Divorce is not good, yet God is a god of grace who will not condemn those who divorce and remarry.
Then throw in the whole idea of widows, adultery, and believer/non-believer relationships and you get another group of interpretations. So what the heck!? I've been reading Scripture (Matthew 19:1-10, Mark 10:1-12, Luke 16:18, and 1 Corinthians 7:1-39) and praying about this and have my own ideas. Any advice, thoughts, experiences to help with this?

Hmmmm- that's a hard one Todd. Ok, so here's my opinion and it's of course the best source since I have so much marriage experience (cough cough sarcasm. SO... my opinion is that I agree with the last one. God is capable of forgiving anything and will gladly forgive the divorce and be ok with remarriage...as long as the spouse is someone he agrees with and approves of so to speak. Ok, so there's my expert opinion.
I'm sure you have gotten a lot of advice and OPINIONS on this question. I think it is great that you went to the Bible. This is the only place that you need to go. You are divorced and are no longer tied to that person. God does not want us to be alone. A sin is a sin in God's eyes. Do we quit talking if we lie? Do we quit buying if we steal? Do we stop talking to a loved one if we hurt their feelings? This is why Jesus died on the cross. Besides, you cannot control what another does. If your wife left, and you did everything to keep her, what else could have you done? God does not punish us for someone else's actions, or even give us a miserable life because we screwed up. LOOK TO THE BIBLE-
in my expirence of 3 husbands(all of which i have divorced) i think you should do whatever you want. at least thats what i did.
haha
