Hello!

I am married to a man who is already married. He is in the process of helping his First Wife accept our marriage. It is very painful for all of us and I am afraid that I will lose him and his wonderful family because of her unwillingness to see that this situation is acceptable in God's eyes. I understand her position completely because, before I had thoroughly begun researching God's Word regarding polygyny and also patriarchy, I would have taken the same stance but with far less grace and dignity.

Chris loves his wife dearly. He believes that she has to accept this and if she does not then I will have to walk away... I will be divorced or "put away". He will not ask me to stay in a marriage that is void of a husband. He sees no other answer and I understand his position even though it breaks my heart. He has been married to her for over 20 years and has only known me for 9 months.

Please pray that she accepts me and my children.

Hello Jen,

Welcome. This is a very difficult issue. I would suggest talking to Lissa and/or Julie about this rather than express more personal stuff on this very public board. Blessings!
 
Welcome Jen. We are so glad you are here! I have PMed you about your situation, please let us know how we can help.

-Love
 
Welcome nice to meet you. Praying for you. As someone like minded in sharing all my thoughts with no holds bar am glad that I have a clear understanding as to what I am asking god for.
 
Thank you all so much for your prayers. Prayer is truly what I am asking for because this is not an issue that I can take before any of our local churches. I cannot speak with my pastor or my family. I have come to all of you, and any others who may read "this very public board" ;) because the more prayer for me, my children and my husband's family the better! (not many folks from my public will be reading this board) From what I have read of the posts on this site, you are all more than willing to pray for us with the view that we need to come together as a family rather than repent and go our separate ways.

Please pray.

Cindy, the Holy Spirit and I just had a little prayer meeting for you. Thank you for posting, and letting us know how we can pray.

I invite you to sit back (emotionally) and enjoy the show as God works things out in your family. *Bring on the popcorn!*

You came to the right place, where peple WILL pray for you, AND your husband, AND his first wife/your sister wife. We all recognize that each of you has unique struggles and decisions to make, and apply God's promises for wisdom (Ja 1:4), and guidance (Ps 32:8).

Your friends and extended family in the Lord,
Cecil and Cindy

PS: Sir BumbleBerry, my mischievous alter-ego, insists on sharing the observation that the latter promise means that we all got yer back, but the Holy Spirit got yer front. That means you are safely surrounded. He wants to hand out lollipops all around in celebration, or lemon drops for those who prefer, but I told him that gets the insides of the internet too sticky. He concedes the point, though with somewhat poor grace.

PS Again: Le Ponderous Pomposity, my other alter ego, points out that we "repent" of doing wrong. We "recant" of doing right that other folks didn't like. Maybe threatened to burn us at the stake, or at least disfellowship us over. We therefore conclude that you are stuck. Sorry. You CAN'T "repent" about PM. Only "recant". :roll: Please don't. ;)
 
You and yours are in our prayers, Jen. As for the rest - as is so often the case, Cecil beat us to the punch and said it well.

Remember that those whom God loves, He chastens. It isn't always easy, but it is necessary.

May He give you His blessings, and His strength,

Mark
 
Again, I would like to express how much I appreciate all of the love and prayers that are being offered! Thank you all for being here!
