That is your excuse nothing more.

 

Great first step. Do you grieve the loss of your marriage? You must have loved each other at some point or you would not have taken the steps to marry. Part of what brought me into this conversation is what appears to be no emotional response to what some view as the one of the most catastrophic events in someone's life- second only to the death of a spouse. The only word we got from you was akin to "Ding-dong, the witch is dead; I need to get a date and a street corner."

Neither of you is totally at fault and neither of you is blameless. Tomorrow my wife and I will be married 37 years. I remember the vows: for better or worse; richer or poorer; in sickness or in health; 'til death us do part. We've had the first six in abundance and a close brush with the seventh a few years ago. I literally grieve when I hear of someone's marriage ending. I grieve for you. I am heartsick that your marriage ended.

Part of me is angered that you seem no more disturbed by your divorce than if you had missed out on the last cookie on the plate. Part of me is confused how you can take a hardline Calvinistic approach to salvation and such an Arminian view on marriage.

 

It's more of a liberal, postmodern approach.

Like maybe being conformed to this world rather than being transformed by the renewing of his mind.

fwiw, I grieve over anyone's nonchalant attitude towards divorce. I've been an unwilling participant of divorce twice

 

If you cannot see how petulant that answer is you have some deeply-rooted issues of the heart. For the sake of the integrity of the Christian witness you need to stay off the streets until you get some blisters on your knees.

 

Yep, her heart will definitely melt for you all over again with that attitude...

 

2 Corinthians 7:8-10 NAS77
8 For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it--for I see that that letter caused you sorrow, though only for a while--
9 I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, in order that you might not suffer loss in anything through us.
10 For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

THAT IS MY GOAL.

 

Yes. But have you tried forgiving her for her part?

 

*sigh*

You just do not understand, do you...

 

Thanks for the input. Being always open to constructive criticism, I carefully considered your words. Though meant as an insult, I realized that you were right...so I changed it to something more appropriate.

Again, thanks so much.

Cheers.

 

What the...Wesyian theology !?!
