WAW Using God II

[pigskin]

Thanks for the comments, 25.

I honestly believe that my ordeal has made me a better person in many ways. Primarily, it has completely reawakened me in my faith, and there is no going back. For that, I am extremely grateful, as now I feel I am finally "walking the talk".

Secondly, it has made me realize how important it is to nurture a marriage relationship, to share feelings, and communicate.

I have no question that if I were to ever marry again, I would be much better "armed".

As far as the annulment goes, my pastor has confidence it would not be an issue for mine to go through. Now whether that is due to lax standards or the validity of my case, I don't know.

I have read passages in the bible and also in the catechism of the catholic church that address "abandonment" of a spouse who is adhering to the marriage covenant, and how there are allowances for remarriage in those cases.

It's common sense, as well. If you are honoring your marriage vows and your spouse walks away, it seems ridiculous to be barred from marrying someone else. I can't imagine the church would say, "tough luck pal."
