  • Mismatched marriages

    In different countries of the world, Adventists at different level of spiritual growth understand marriage differently, Suppose you marry a spouse from Asiatic country, who understands marriage differently and does not consider it as life long binding as you, and after a year or 2 your "life time" partner who promised before God, the church, and all her/his friends, to be your spouse for life, decides to break those vows- because his/her love for you has gone-and nothing you can say or do will make her/him change their minds,...how would you handle this situation?

    These kinds of things are always very hard Paul. And there is not much to do. If she has decided its over then its over. I have seen very few marriages recover. But then again all things are in God's hands so maybe something special will happen.

  • mismatched marriages..

    Thanks for your comment there brother Sulla....I agree with it, especially the last sentence, and am praying that God turns her around, because I consider marriage VERY important lifetime commitment. as Pastor who married us said: "Whatsoever God joined together, let no man put asunder..."

  • Missmatched marriages

    When I think of mismatched marriages i think of two people with different level of walk with God, different goals, different view etc. But never in my life, have I heard of the type of situation that you are talking about Paul. This not to say, that you are not living it. But as you mentioned, your view on Marriage is serious and so I would suggest that in addition to prayer, you guys seek counseling.  But you have to ask yourself what were the purpose of getting married. My friend got married to someone from the carribean (and I am to, so no biases here), but his intentions was to get his paper works - green card.  She knew that and had to confront the painful reality that despite the fact that she loved him, he did not love her that way and would probably never do.  And I must continue to point out to her that if his intentions was just to get the green card, then there is probably no hope for them.  Intentions is the key here. If you can find out why you guys got married, then you will know how to proceed.
