so just to clarify im not having a moment with my wife- anyhow i come across many struggling christians online so its something i wanna become more certain in
can remarriage be done without sin? of what i recall its just if a womans husband dies, she may remarry, but then they may not be uh, intimate together
also something about.. if one is an unbeliever, then the believer is free if the unbeliever divorces them .. which doesnt really clarify whether theyre so free they can marry someone else?

many also have this idea that any kind of cheating, any kind of ... unfaithfulness, flirting with someone else makes it ok to divorce, and in the case of cheating one may leave the marriage
although, i dont see it as theyre free to remarry..? i recall scripture saying the person marrying the divorced guilty party, will be guilty of sin until they leave them again
and the one who remarries will be guilty of sin

"I say to you: whoever dismisses (repudiates, divorces) his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

one could make a stretch and say, someone who commits adultery isnt a believer, and then just call it quits and say, they were an unbeliever and then be granted special relief from the covenant since them not being a believer makes the covenant that much less serious. hm?

Death, adultery and complete abandonment are grounds. They are the only grounds.

On adultery, scripture is crystal clear that only actual sexual immorality / actual adultery is grounds Matt 5:32. Adulterer's in the OT would be stoned to death because they actually committed adultery. Not merely for 'toying' with the idea.

Yes, anyone who helps break up a marriage or marries someone not sanctified from their divorce would be upsetting God at a mortal sin level.

"I say to you: whoever dismisses (repudiates, divorces) his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

True Christians can commit mortal sins. But for them, it is always a mistake. And they will repent and make right with God. Just as David did when he sinned like this.

With all the temptation to have fornication in today's culture, many good Christians fall into this. Its so sad. Scripture says it is better to try work on a marriage even if there is adultery. A Divorce is so evil. So evil!!!!

No person who broke a marriage and is unrepentant in an adulterous affair will be in heaven. You will arrive at the pearly gates and everyone in heaven will yell for you to leave. Nobody will want you as a neighbour. Nobody.
 
What if a male unbeliever for no good reason divorces a believer and marries an unbeliever. Later he becomes a believer. Should he return to the initial believer? I've heard a preacher say "the current unbelieving spouse is the legitimate spouse in God's eye". I agree but don't have biblical certainty.
