That's unfortunate, because I haven't gotten that vibe from the postings I've been reading on this blog for the past several months. I've had a rough day, so maybe I'm just being overly sensitive. I'll trust that your presence here indicates that you're a sister in Christ, so I'll assume it was not meant to tear down. I won't get into a debate here regarding Deut. 24. Suffice it to say that there are teachings that do not interpret it the way you do. If you would like me to share any of this with you, feel free to email me at rainer.seitz@hotmail.com Hi Carmen – I’m trying to see your comment as constructive, but the tone suggests otherwise.

Being with one man, going to another, then returning to the first... yeah... sounds like God's really not so into that. The scripture calls that "an abomination before the Lord." Who knew?!

I hope you didn't feel that you needed to justify yourself based on my comments. As always, thanks for your honesty, Alece.

Mainly because I have been there, especially the idea of a lost dream. I was there about 5 years ago when my dad called me and told me things are going to be different, I am leaving your mom. All that dreaming that I had done about the future and how my parents would grow old together and I they would get to spoil my kids and how I was always going to look to them for the example of marriage was gone. Its amazing how we can feel like we are living the dream only to be woken up with a huge punch to the gut and then brought back to reality. I so appreciate your honest here. And if this gives you any resemblance of hope my parents never got divorced and have now been happily married for 29 years. I hate reading this.
