“OK, I accept all these explanations”

I don’t. As a Chrisian you promise till death do us part. No where do you say unless I decide to change my mind. Couples under extreme circumstances may seperate but that does not allow them to marry another person. I speak from experience.

Are you suggesting that Christianity forbids divorce?

I'm a Catholic convert. I'm also divorced (not my choice!) The chances are that I can never remarry unless, God forbid, my ex-husband were to die pretty soon. So be it; I accept and understand that and thank God for His will, whatever it is and no matter how hard, sad, and lonely it has been. But Protestants do not believe as you and I do, and I don't expect them to make the choices we do. Many Protestants believe that if a spouse commits adultery, or if an unbelieving spouse departs, they are free to remarry. I disagree, but I do not judge them harshly because they are acting according to their light.
