If you have separated and divorced, the worst thing you could do is rush into another relationship. All churches and counseling programs will advise against it. Why?
It is a matter of healing. We need time to get right inside and take care of our emotions and behavior. It is unwise to hop into another relationship...damaging. The chances that it will be good are very minute...slim.
I have been in deep biblical study and also took DivorceCare during my time of healing. I am only ready to go forward with someone "equally yoked" as a Christian. It matters.
There has to be a knowledge in a person that God is our provider and loves us. That Jesus Christ is His Son and is our Saviour. That we co-exist under the Way of Christian faith.
All the things a relationship needs to succeed come from an equal faith and love - trust - covenant. There is no other option. Not for a Christian who wants true love, joy, happiness and wholeness.
Amen.
