It's ...Thank you for your honesty in this post. It's a difficult issue and I thikn you handled it very well here.<br />I also am divorced and remarried. Neither my ex or I were Christians when we got married, and when I was saved two years into our marriage, things got considerably worse. While I definitely had Biblical grounds for divorce when it happened, it was still a terribly difficult decision to make - one that people still question today.<br /><br />It seems that God has used both of our divorces for good. You now have a great marraige ministry to other women, and I think your past experiences have given you great insight and more compassion than you might otherwise have had.<br /><br />My ex-husband was terribly abusive, and there have been several times lately where I have been able to minister to other women in our church who are in similar situations. The experince I had prepared me for this in many ways, including the contacts I know have in the court systems and womens shelters.<br /><br />Isn't it amazing how God can use even our sin for His glory?Jessica Kramaszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03961274494762725982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345363153684300038.post-42576792512018223552009-12-10T09:06:20.663-05:002009-12-10T09:06:20.663-05:00Hi Aimee,

It really does hit home. I too have been married before and my story is so much like yours. I don't have children though and I don't see me ex husband at all but my new husband's ex wife is involved in our life. We go to church together, birthday parties, Christmas services and all. It is nice to have a united family for the childrens sake. Thanks again! Good luck with ttc. I have followed Kaleighs blog for a long time. I'll be rooting for you guys. I am currently pregnant with twins!<br /><br />KamiKamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799215346270649943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345363153684300038.post-18722778764053146422009-12-09T22:54:31.255-05:002009-12-09T22:54:31.255-05:00Aimee you are so blessed to hear your calling and ...Aimee you are so blessed to hear your calling and go to it with such honesty!

That is why God forgives.<br /><br />You truely have a remarkable relationship. I have friends that have a similar relationship. She was 16 when she got pregnant, they married, and then divorced a few years later. She is now remarried and has another child and her ex and his new family come to birthday parties. It works out so well for them all.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12849693517876190128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345363153684300038.post-33825452201159997112009-12-09T20:23:25.789-05:002009-12-09T20:23:25.789-05:00Hey Kayla, not at all.

I made a "marriage mistake" at the age of 18, and married someone who I now know is a horrible person ( I won't disclose what he did). I too had 2 children by this man, always saying that he was going to change and did not. After about 4 years I filed for divorce and my husband now went through that with me. He stuck by my side. So, now it is my turn to stick by his side. <br /><br />Okay, about the weight loss discussion, I have a blog that I have, it is nothing special but at anytime people are welcome to visit and post. I use it as well as a venting site, and a place where one can post without ridicule. <br /><br />The webpage is:<br /><br />www.cravingtobhealthy.blogspot.com<br /><br />Sometimes we get a bit personal, but nothing graphic. It is open to whomever wants to visit.<br /><br />Thanks again Aimee,<br />JennJennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246267847626714139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345363153684300038.post-35376788978343042702009-12-09T19:24:45.185-05:002009-12-09T19:24:45.185-05:00Thank you for sharing, I knoww that had to be hard...Thank you for sharing, I knoww that had to be hard for you.

Therefore, if we follow what God has commanded us to do then we will find happiness again. We would want to be together again, as we did on our wedding day. Your feelings will follow your choices. So yes, if I knew what was "right" then I would have stayed & tried my hardest to work on our marriage. Choosing not to sin ALWAYS feels like a sacrifice if we choose to look at life through the eyes of temptation. <br /><br />AimeeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00617425607227159538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345363153684300038.post-56860169896658081082009-12-09T15:30:19.027-05:002009-12-09T15:30:19.027-05:00Aimee, I love the honesty of this post.

We didn't, but through an amazing twist of fate, he became not only my best friend, but one of my husband's best friends as well. Today, that man I *thought* I would marry is my daughter's Godfather (and his mother is her Godmother!). It's a situation most people find incredibly strange, but it's been a real blessing in our lives!<br /><br />~Elizabeth<br />http://confessionsfromaworkingmom.blogspot.comConfessions From A Work-At-Home Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17537552947779004296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345363153684300038.post-25223648971322839282009-12-09T15:28:09.011-05:002009-12-09T15:28:09.011-05:00I guess I'm confused with what you are saying....I guess I'm confused with what you are saying. If you had known that divorce wasn't right when you were with Mike you really would have sacrificed your happiness and possibly his to stay with someone you don't want to be with? You say it's wrong, yet you say that is was the best decision. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in divorce, but if I'm in the wrong relationship for the wrong reasons, then what's the point.<br /><br />I'm not even sure if this makes sense, because I couldn't figure out how to word it, but I hope it does.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680817793421317603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345363153684300038.post-5554077554276655042009-12-09T14:55:38.589-05:002009-12-09T14:55:38.589-05:00Thank you.

My spouse in an alchoholic who refuses to get help. I do not know what to do with this. When you say that divorce is not acceptable in God's eyes, what about this situation? What do I do? He wants us to have children but I have thus far refused because I do not want to bring children into this situation. We are in counseling but he still refuses to quit drinking although he admits that he has a problem. I am truly at the end of my rope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345363153684300038.post-71313663991448277012009-12-09T13:57:22.903-05:002009-12-09T13:57:22.903-05:00Thank you for sharing this - I'm sure it's...Thank you for sharing this - I'm sure it's not a part of your life that you enjoy dredging up.
