[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attend a non denominational conservative church. They definitely preach abstinence. I know of an older (faithful) couple that got married within a year of dating each other.[b] The idea is to trust the Lord and trust biblical sexuality. [/b][/quote]

Exactly.  If you actually believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and you actually believe that the Bible (with its multiple clear directives for sexual purity and marriage) is the word of God, how can waiting until marriage be such a big stretch?  It’s not easy but that is almost the entire point.  As a Christian you should be walking a difficult and narrow path.[/quote]

Because I feel that it’s extremely difficult to wait a long time to find the right individual who is compatible with your faith, family, and children. I think that solitude is so hard to deal with, since this was an unwanted divorce.[/quote]

Nobody on this board is going to reconcile this for you because you are struggling between your feelings and urges and your professed faith.  This is something between you and God, not you and God and an anonymous website.  But the Christian Bible and the traditional Christian stance are very, very clear.  Paul discusses at length that if you can’t maintain celibacy, you should get married.

If I were you and having this dilemma I would spend some time in prayer and reflection, and reading the Bible.  I don’t think you necessarily have to wait a “very long time” to get married if you find a decent Christian man who is willing to wait and willing to marry you.  Again, this is all between you and God.  [/quote]

You are so right. I feel like a season of celibacy will be so difficult to handle. It almost makes the divorce feel like a double whammy. First the financial, emotional, spiritual and psychological pain of divorce caused by infidelity. Second, this season of loneliness where you can’t be intimate until marriage.  I understood the notion of waiting before my first marriage (and I did, I married young at 24) but I can’t wrap my mind it now.  [/quote]
