Pbxguy I know of a situation in a friends church where a lady in the church kept getting bruises, like black eyes, and she sought counsel from the pastors and all that, and she was told NOT TO DIVORCE him. Well, guess what, he finally killed her.
My wife and me are considering annulment. In fact, last night we agreed amiably. Everybody was happy with it. But, she did call back in thirty minutes changing her mind, saying we will hold off on it and have a date night. So, she aint ready for it. Well we went to God for counsel, and what we got was He is OK with it. We just are opposite in every way. That is our impression anyway. I would not advise anyone either way about anything myself, except to speak with God directly rather than get a firm witness from anybody where they are deciding for you.
