I debated on whether to post anything in a form like this because my situation is a little personal and I'm a typical guy who doesn't share this type of stuff often. However, I suppose we should share our needs with our christian brothers and seek their prayers and wisdom. So, here it goes: My wife divorced me about 12 years ago. She had some medical & psychological issues and decided she didn't want to be married anymore. Over the course of about six months she moved out, quit attending our marriage counseling and filed for divorce. I haven't seen or heard from her since. In the meantime, I never put forth much effort into dating. I went out a few times, but nothing felt right. I even prayed that my ex would reconnect and try to reconcile if it was God's will. I finally quit trying to find someone and prayed that God would bring someone into my life it it was meant to happen. About six months ago I met an amazing christian lady that has so much common with me that it is a little scary. She is a widow, loves the Lord, has a great family and is simply a wonderful person. The way we met (by chance) and how things have progressed between us has been miraculous. I find myself caring deeply for her and wondering if marriage could be in our future. However, I want to be sure that we are not violating God's principles of marriage, divorce and remarriage. I have read the scriptures, including I Corinthians that relates to abandonment (which definitely applies to my situation).
I would appreciate any insight, thoughts, experiences any of you may have in similar situations. Also, please pray that God will give us wisdom and guidance. Thanks.
