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.
