Does God Honor Second Marriages?

The text discusses the legality of second marriages in Christianity, focusing on the biblical teachings on marriage. It highlights that God does not condone adultery and allows those who divorce their spouse to enter heaven.

The Bible teaches that only two people in the Bible are specifically said to have remarried after the death of a spouse: Abraham to Keturah (Genesis 25:1) and Ruth to Boaz (Ruth 4:13). In neither case does the Bible condemn a second marriage. Instead, it recognizes the pain and loss that often accompany a second marriage.

Catholicism has traditionally taught that if a person’s first marriage ended in divorce, God won’t bless a second one. However, many Protestant traditions hold that since there are biblically valid second marriages, God views a second marriage as legitimate and binding.

In summary, every marriage is considered legitimate, and the Lord expects us to honor whatever marriage we have. Even though a second marriage is formed through an act of adultery, the sin of adultery is not ongoing, and the new marriage is valid. The key to making a second marriage a success is to commit the marriage to God and rely on Him for the grace and strength needed.
