I'd rather be alone than to find someone like this

If the only to for me to find the right woman is to go to a bar or something, I'd rather not get married at all.

Are you seriously suggesting that being single is worse than being married to someone who cheats on you?



Being single isn't that bad. It is much better to be single than to be married to the wrong person. If you think that you are lonely now, you would be a lot lonelier if you are married to someone who doesn't care about you.

CountryIvy, you’re exactly right.

I have a friend who was married and remarried 3 times who said the same thing and would agree with you. Sadly she’s not the only one! I could well have been one myself

I had another never married old maid friend who said, “it’s better to be single than to wish you were!”

The book of Hosea was a God picked object lesson to show Israel their repugnant sin of idolatry, God wasn't condoning neither Gomer nor prostitution. He was calling Israel to repentance.

Exactly, no man in his right mind would want to marry a habitual whoredom.

As Loree briefly stated, Hosea married the adulterous woman because God required a vivid real life object lesson on public display to call adulterous Israel to repentance.

Israel had a long history of repeat idolatries often consisting of an aggregate of false religion/gods with the true God—sorta like certain “Christian” denominations today that mix in a little Freudian psychology with various forms of secular humanism and evolution with a teaspoon of God.

I so appreciate the Hosea account because Hosea suffered the same public disgrace God suffers when his people sin against him..

in fact, David was reminded by Nathan that his sin with Bathsheba and the murder of her husband caused the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme!

That’s grievous! I wonder how often I’ve caused the enemies of God to blaspheme by my sinful stupidities.

I do not want this to sound like I’m taking God’s grace for granted when I declare with Lamentations 3:22-23, that “his mercies are new every morning!” How can we sin against such a loving God—-but alas we do

Thank God that "His mercies are new every morning" and that "if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

I don't know what happened to my wording here. I'm trying to say I'd rather not be married than to marry someone who goes out to bars and gets drunk all the time.
