Well here's one for you. I married in 80, was divorced in 86. Was convinced by him in words and actions that he had truly changed and remarried him only to find that he hadn't truly dealt with his anger/control issues. I was trapped with and infant and no way out financially. Seperated years later when I could take it no more only to be told a year later by my Pastor that 'true heart change had taken place and to give him a chance.' You guessed it, I returned home. He deceived everyone, not just me. I am now divorced again. Turned out he was gifted in controlling the areas that were causing problems while continuing to live a double life.

I would never marry him again. I don't even speak to him. Sad to say but not one word or action of his can be trusted to be the truth. He should have been a politician, he knows how to spin everything.

I've been saying that I will never remarry but the thought crossed my mind last week that I have never been in a true marriage the way God intended and if God sends me the right man I should be open to happiness.

It truly frightens the socks off me to even crack that door open but if God brought me a good, godly man who am I to turn away God's good gifts? But that is a pretty big order and I just don't think there are any of those men left.
