It seems liks you're in a great state of mind and trust now, and I think that's great. I have two quick thoughts for you, and I hope they only build you up further in love.<br /><br />The first thought is this: you will be judged on the last day by Christ; not by anyone else, and not before then. Your authenticity to your Creator is much more important than anything else. I think you already know this, but at least there's that concept in language that might offer a different perspective. <br /><br />The second thought is this: I think you should read up on the marriage of Bishop Gene Robinson. He and his wife were married with kids, and he eventually came to terms with himself and God that he was gay. He and his wife processed that information and prayed and meditated on what to do, and they eventually came up with the idea of having a ceremony: a ceremony in which they released one another from their marriage vows, and made new vows of Christian love and community to one another, as well as vows relating to the parenting of their children. They did so, got divorced, and walked on in life with the Living God, each other, and their community. <br /><br />Just thought I'd share those thoughts with you. And again, I'd hug you if I could.<br /><br />EthanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253824019426659573.post-55408286311358570602011-10-06T19:11:27.319+11:002011-10-06T19:11:27.319+11:00Don't listen to those "Christians" w...Don't listen to those "Christians" who tell you divorce is wrong. I don't think it is God's will for you to remain in an abusive relationship. I went to a seminar many years ago and the preacher/teacher said that when Jesus said divorce was only ok when there had been marital unfaithfulness, but this guy also said that it wasn't just meaning adultery but anything that was contrary to the marriage vows. I know how hard Aspergers can be and I salute you for your bravery.Lindyhttp://www.lindypetersbell.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253824019426659573.post-45426688403684497692011-09-18T22:02:13.221+10:002011-09-18T22:02:13.221+10:00It is refreshing to read an honest dialogue about ...It is refreshing to read an honest dialogue about a difficult subject both personally and theologically. I believe there should be more honest conversation and teaching about divorce. I am glad to hear that you are both doing well while working out the next part of your journey.rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02688265743572480287noreply@blogger.com
