All dovorce does not=adultery. One is allowed to divorce because of adultery. We hopefully and should be bound to one spouse for life, that should be the intent of a Godly marriage. I can legally marry people, but I don't have any white robes. I do have a bath robe though. I would not marry a couple just for the sake of marrying them. For me thay would have to spend a time of pre-marital counseling. Marriage is definiely not defined as a sexual act. To assure you you are not married to your first wife, but you may consider some forgivness, it might make you feel better and it is my guess you may have had and possibly still have some imperfections yourself. I know I do!!!!
A little advice for a present marriage if you are now married or for the future.
Go into prayer armed with two lists: your spouses strengths, and your weaknesses . This exercise will help maintain a positive spiritual balance of remaining aware of your own shortcomings, and of staying sensitive to your spouse's strengths. We're all in this together. (Gary Thomas)
