I'm sorry to hear that. That must have been hard for you. I have a
question for you. Were you angry at her? Did you think by breaking her
marriage vow that that was fair/right on her part?....or did you just
shrug your shoulders and say...."She felt it wasn't working for her
so it
was perfectly fine for her to break her promise and leave."
You act like those are mutually exclusive. Do you really think its
better to remain in a relationship for the rest of your life, even if
one or more parties are miserable from it? Even if it hurts, I'd take
a chance at a relationship that works in a second, rather than being
stuck in a dysfunctional one.
It doesn't matter what we think if God has expressed what He thinks, and
He has. He (through Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians) says "Wives,
submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the
husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the
church: and He is the savior of the body. Therefore, as the church is
subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every
thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church,
and gave Himself for it; That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the
washing of water by the word, That He might present it to Himself a
glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but
that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their
wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself." And
He says (through Paul, in his letter to the Colossians) "And whatsoever
you all do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God and the Father by Him. Wives, submit yourselves unto your
own husbands, as it is appropriate in the Lord. Husbands, love your
wives, and be not bitter against them. Children, obey your parents in
all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke
not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged." There would be
far fewer divorces if the husband *and* the wife were to obey these
teachings.
