If you want to leave your spouse, dont read this!
A simple question - If a person leaves the church and their spouse, remarries and comes back to church - if the former spouse wants them back are they obligated to return to the original spouse?

Talk to your Pastor.

If you walked into a Christian counsellor's office and asked that "simple"
question, I doubt there would be a "simple" answer without much more
dialogue!
I know what I would say, but I'm not the judge!

It certainly isn't up to members of AFF.

Can't get them to come back to you and you want them to read this thread as a way to persuade them?
It is not a simple question: talk to your Pastor.
It is a lot more complex than your letting on.

Re: If you want to leave your spouse, dont read th

They no longer have the first spouse...they can't *keep* that one.
This question makes my head hurt though. What you're really asking is...can a person who doesn't want to be married any more decide to play an act of backsliding and leave the church in order to get a divorce, with the intention of coming back after remarrying someone they've presumibly already chosen.
In that case, the divorce/remarriage isn't even the real issue. A problem, but a symptom not the cause.
