Why Remarry? – Day 141

Why Remarry?
Day 141

Do you need this new relationship to feel whole?

If you answered “Yes” to the above question, then you are not ready for the potential of remarriage.

If you answered “No,” then spend some time thinking carefully about why you want to remarry.

Gretchen advises, “To those people who hurry into marriage and feel like they cannot get by without having a partner, I would say above everything else, ‘Just get on your hands and knees and pray to the Lord.’ If He doesn’t send the person there, you might as well hang it up. It’s not going to work out. If it’s not from the Lord, I’d rather stay single.”

Don’t rush into remarriage to deaden the pain of your grief; you will simply bring that pain into the new relationship. New relationships must  be built on one foundation.

“But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete” (Luke 6:49).


Strong Father, may the building blocks of this relationship come only from You. Amen.
