Marriage is NOT compulsory.

GBAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why get into it if your plan is to make your spouse miserable for life? That is a demon incarnate.

So mr. Baldman, since The Lord said thou shalt not covet another man's wife, it now means women do not covet other people's husband? Ope o! According to bald man's logic I can covet other people's husband because I was not included in the commandments. Better don't get mad if your girlfriend or wife cheats on you, because Christ only alludes fornication to men, only men are capable of lusting, abi?

Besides in that scripture, Christ was addressing his disciples who are men. They were the ones who asked him a question. How was he supposed to say it? Was he supposed to address it from a woman's perspective?

baldman:

@Nashville: Since apparently you read your Bible very well, can you please direct me to the verse of the Bible that supports the bolded. I know it is fast becoming 'acceptable' now because some pastors are doing it but really my bible tells me that he who is intimate with the one who is divorced has committed adultery. I know this is one point people don't like admitting for obvious reasons.

I agree with your point on the fact that when men get away with cheating it kinda encourages other men to continue, but trust me, men do not get away with cheating,you cannot put a hot coal on your bosom and not be burnt. Anyways, a man that will cheat will cheat regardless of the consequences( there are men still sleeping around without protection in spite of the high risk of contact STDs).

I still maintain that cutting off the head is not the cure for an headache. I hope by the time the children who have been trained to divorce a cheating husband after a 'second chance' are on their fifth husbands (like the Samaritan woman) they will suddenly discover that men are not good for them and that they are better off with women or altogether on their own.

Spouses should cultivate the habit of praying for each other,particularly with respect to their weaknesses, who doesn't have one?. Perseverance must permeate every aspect of the marriage relationship. The women who grew old in marriage didn't do so because they got married to 'Nashvilles' ( Immunized- against-cheating men) of this world, they did because divorce is not a norm in our society ( unlike the Oyinbos), so they persevered and they are the better for it.

Matthew 5: 32 Read it very well:

But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Don't bother with him,

He is reading the 'Nigerian Bible'

FPT abeg

To all: Can you please ignore my reference to the fact that the bible does not seem to address the possibility of a woman divorcing her husband, it was an aside, and I really just wanted someone to tell me if there was any literal provision in the bible for that. Not to worry again, I have found the answer in the bible and that settles it for me.

It is interesting that my interpretation of the bible is 'Nigerian', but this bible verse is written in English and fortunately is is very clear, any man that marries a divorced woman commits adultery.. so no man who does not want to commit adultery should be married to the divorced. This bible verse cannot be interpreted to mean that a woman who divorces her husband for sexual immorality can then proceed to marry another man. I have found other scriptural position on this point and for this who are interested in the truth, the bible remains our final authority. Pls see the following scriptures:

1 Corinthians 7:10-11 - 10 And unto the married I command, [yet] not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from [her] husband:

11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to [her] husband: and let not the husband put away [his] wife.

I know this is a sensitive matter so I will rather not dwell any further on it, but pls, as much as it is within our power ( God helping us) let us strive to keep our home. Look out for what the devil is trying to achieve in any situation and make sure you do not play into his hand.

Adultery is a sin and weakness, fine. If God can forgive adultery, why can't He forgive a divorcee marrying another man/woman? Is divorce not a weakness too?

Good debate.
For me, I don't want to know how to take care of a cheat. Since he is not sick, I wonder why I should be praying for him, even if he was sick, I take him to the doctor.

There is difference between helping mould him to a better man. Before we married, he didn't cheat (I think ), why should he suddenly have the urge to do that.

That's me anyway, some ppl may feel good to forgive because they have no choice. If I had no choice too,..maybe 8 children, with no job...in my sick bed, dying maybe in a month time, why won't I forgive him ....

Since I'm not, I got the best decision to kick his ars e out. ThankGod no be me go carry my bag comot. . Like the ones I see in home video .

The Bibles Nigerians read and live their life by.

When a Christian feels it's ok/natural to cheat on wife/husband, be rude, not love, cheat, steal, lie, kidnap, forge documents, deceive one another and still thank God for His protection/mercies/blessings.

I know someone who was thinking of attending a church service with his girlfriend.... he is married

I believe the words cheating, rude, stealing are all english words which are not a preserve of any nationality but rather a human failing

Contrary to the OP's stated intentions, this thread is defaulting to the original intention ab initio e.gof bashing

By virtue of adamic nature, men n women have sinned and are subject to natural desires (weakness). Christians believe one can do nothing of himself

If you want to divorce your husband... pls do
if you want to pray.. pls do

in the haste to condemn you are overlooking one basic thing

2 generations ago, we were under a polygamous system. currently we are morphing into a monogamous system as a result of christianity which is a white man''s religion and is less than 100 years at best

It will take time

In another 2 or 3 generations, things will be better

Madam, it's easier said than done o.

If you leave your goat with tubers of yam, and it doesn't eat it for a whole week...that's an exception oh. There's usually no relationship between his fidelity before marriage and after.

If am to volunteer my opinion, I think the tendency to cheat will sky-rocket after marriage. Same chic, less romance, and maybe add nagging and over-entitlement to the mix and you have a f*cking time-bomb.

You still don't get it....

I am addressing the hypocrisy and not even the vice

When did Christianity become the 'white man's religion'?

Things will not get better until we begin to take in what we are really learning at the altar.

No one celebrates cheating.... Speak for only yourself sir.

I know someone who said he is a pro in cheating, no girl can hang belle on his neck etc. He is 'happily' married and really 'loves' his wife. According to him, he doesn't 'lie' to his wife and she has 'no reason' to bother.

My point: He will still go to church on Sunday and dance. He might probably even be an elder giving 'martial' advice to intending couples.

What nonesense! And to cap it all, the mumu-ish wife, rather than take on her issues with the man chose to attack the concubine? How many concubines was she planning on melting with HCL? Talk about treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. Mtcheew!

Mrs Mansson, abeg, that your pastor sounds fishy. Come to think of it, what happened to his 'former' church? Was he sussed out for what he really is, and so decided to jump ship??



Please Jenny, send me the link of that Nollywood movie. I really do need to watch something really dumb to help me unwind this evening jare.

Orishirishi ,

Lol!!...working on his weakness my left foot!!...

...reminds me of a cousin of mine whose husband was a serial cheat...initially she sought solace in church and faith in God..

...but before she knew what was happening,her husband had impregnated his mistress and had started making attempts to marry her..

...that was when she raised an alarm and informed his and her family members...but her husband was far too gone and ignored his parents and her parents outcries and objections at his proposed marriage...he went about town painting her black to whoever cared to listen just to justify his marrying another woman....this is a man with three children with my cousin and a daughter from a relationship he had in the university...add these to the baby his mistress was carrying and you have five children from three different woman!!!

....My cousin was going through hell at that point..the only thing that kept her sane was her children and her job...

...Finally she couldn't take it anymore and decided to leave him...surprisingly,her husband broke down that day crying, begging for forgiveness and pleading with her not to go...ofcourse she couldn't leave anymore cos of her kids but a lot has gone down...he is still begging till date as I hear...

..According to her,she made him way too comfortable with her silence,which he apparently mistook for consent to cheat...some men sha!..all these praying and stuff does not work for some of them I tell you...

^^ Abeg finish the story.

So what happened next? Did he marry his latest mistress or not?

And your cousin - what finally 'broke the camel's back' for her? And has she gone to test herself for HIV and STDs? Or is she of the mindset that AIDs isn't real?

....loll!!..well he couldn't marry her cos the oppositions from his family and friends overwhelmed him...am not being biased or anything but he had no reason what-so-ever to treat his wife in that manner...she is pretty and well put-together, accommodating of his family members,very intelligent and had a good job!...

....His family was simply awesome I must say...you would have thought my cousin was their daughter cos they were dead against him from the get go...as if that was not enough,the baby died at her second month or so, so I guess he felt he might as well stick to his wife.


...as per Hiv test,well I don't think they were sleeping with eachother in the midst of all that chaos so I don't think there is need for that.

^^ It's really heartbreaking when a child dies, irrespective of their circumstances at birth.

As per your cousin and his wife, the fact still remains that he was sleeping with someone other than his wife, and is now back to his wife. She should go check herself.

Adultery is a sin, sin is a weakness of the flesh.

This is scripture
It doesn't sound good to the many divorcees and liberal Christians but it is clear in black and white to a Christian who believes in the Bible as the word of God
Besides adultery and if one's spouse deserts them and of course death every other remarriage is living in perpetual adultery according to the Bible.

I understand it to mean if the man or wife walks out on the marriage because of religious differences,the one left behind is free to remarry.
At least that was the contest of that scripture where Paul made that suggestion.

Biblically, I'm not sure you are allowed to remarry even if your unbelieving spouse leaves you aside immorality or death

I think the peace just means the seperation is not on your conscience

See contradictions... Where's TV when you need him?
