Question: Would you choose to remarry if your wife/husband died? Why/Why not?
well, let me start by saying it's a whole 'nother ball game if it actually happens, so it's a lot easier to say what we intend.
1Ti 5:11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
1Ti 5:12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
I don't want to be that woman.
Paul said when we marry, we have to tend to our spouses, we are not truly free to just serve Christ. He's right. God forbid I ever have to face such a horrible circumstance, but I want to think that I would then be free to live for Jesus alone and not look to man again.
My wife and I have talked about this. She thinks if something ever happened to her, that I should.
I don't.
I found true love once, I don't know if I could ever find it again.
:smirk2:
as a step child, I don't think I'd ever want to do that to my children if they were young either.
It would be my luck i would meet Cinderellas step mom.
:grin:
I got what I wanted in Stevebert. I'd sure hate to go back to finding frogs while lookin' for a prince.
Don't wanna go back to all that getting to know you jazz again. At this point, I don't think I ever would, but you never know what God might have in mind.
Exactly, you never know what God may have in mind for you.
I am not married now so I cant say, but I did wanna post in here and watch it.
Unless God Himself planned otherwise, never again. I don't think I can ever love a man the way I love my husband.

This is not exactly an easy question to answer. It's not as if I have someone waiting in "reserve" for when my wife dies. However, if the right woman were to come along
after the death of my wife, I would not be opposed to remarrying. I get a lot of pleasure and happiness from loving and spoiling my wife and with the passing of my wife, I would want to find someone else to love and spoil.
I have already made it clear to Arctic Rose that if I were to die, I would want her to find another man that can make her happy. I love her too much now to bear the idea of her being alone the rest of her life. Of course, the decision to remarry is all up to her, but I can only hope that she will find a good man to treat her right after I'm gone.
I like MichaelK's post - it's really hard to say and to know... you never know WHAT will happen IF you're ever in that situation... I would hope that my husband would feel like he COULD marry again if it so happened like that - but obviously, there are issues when there are kids involved and step parents and all that... sometimes it just WORKS - sometimes, it doesn't...
I like marriage, I like being married... if something were to happen to my husband, I wouldn't like to have to be a single mother - but I wouldn't go out LOOKING for a guy either... but if someone were to come along and if it seemed like it would work with me AND my child/children, I wouldn't knock it back either... *shrugs*
I have the whole "cinderella/prince charming" love story of a lifetime..............
I just don't think that there is anyone else in the world, that would love me the way my husband loves me!!!! I have an AWESOME man!!!!!!!!
