How do women feel about getting involved with a man who is divorced?

Well, my ex-boyfriend was divorced, and my boyfriend before that was still married. I prefer divorced to still married :goofball: (And, NO, I didn't know he was still married @ first. He told me he was single. Then he said he was divorced. Then he said he was legally separated. Then the truth came out...)



In all honestly, it concerns me... But it depends on the circumstances. There are a lot of really bad reasons out there for getting divorced and if a guy got divorced for one of those reasons, and it was after he was saved, then it would definitely make him less appealing to me. If a guy said that he divorced his wife because she gained weight and became less fun in the bedroom, then I would not have a good impression of him. But there are other stories of divorce that I hear that just make my heart break for the guy... I think that reconciliation is ideal, but it does take two humble and willing people to truly accomplish that kind of healing.



My desire is to "mate for life" and so I would do some probing to see if he has that same desire and if he understands what's necessary to maintain an enduring, Christ-centered relationship.

Most women that know that of you, and feel they can not talk to you are not showing a Godly side. As a women, we should show kindness and understanding. People are only human. When it comes to a man having a good reason to divorce, Women think that he a beater and dont want anything to do with him. You will find that perfect women to love you, and when you do you will thank God. I know from my own life that people have great reasons to divorce. The bible talks about the subject, I feel everybody should read the bible and find out where God lays with the subject.

I take it in stride like everything else. If I get to know the man, I'd like to know the circumstances. i.e. is he over her? are they friendly? any restraining orders? how about the biggie -- is it FINAL? I've been tripped up by that one before.

I would rather get involved with a man who was married at one time as opposed to never been married.

Also, he would need to be divorced for at least a couple years. To freshly divorced spells TROUBLE.

Unfortunately, divorce happens. How/why it happened is important to understand.



Going out with or dating someone divorced is one thing, but it's a totally different scenario (in my opinion) to consider marrying someone who's divorced, and it really doesn't matter if it's the man, woman, or both, who are divorced. One needs to fully understand why the divorce occurred and if remarriage is acceptable from a biblcal perspective.



It's really helpful to seek godly council about remarriage for yourself, if divorced, before getting into a serious relationship.

oo Ive searched the scriptures I know that I am justified to remarry, I even tried to reconsile with my ex, but nothing doin. The problem is, I think...is some women dont want to investigate, or if they dont have kids they dont want ne thing to with me.
