Explain "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."
My question deals with remarriage. I have been married four times. It is my understanding that while I was married to the other three husbands, I was in a state of adultery as my first husband was still living and we had divorced with no scriptural basis. Just being young and stupid mainly. My first husband died a few years ago and at his death I was not married. What I can't seem to get an answer on is this... When the first husband dies, it is like "batter up" and the next husband steps to the plate? Or were the subsequent marriages not even valid in God's eyes because I was still bound to my first husband all along? Would I be free to remarry now?
I got a divorce about two years ago. My wife wanted to leave, I was wondering if you could help me find in the word of God what I'm supposed to do. I haven't seen anybody since then and I'm only 39. All I can find is that if I would remarry I would be committing adultery. I don't want to do anything wrong, and not too many people give me BIBLICAL advice.
