So he has this couple on, (and I'm going to distill this a lot and cut to the chase for brevity. You can ask for other details and I will fill you in), that have been married for 5 months and the wife has filed for divorce, and the husband wrote TD trying to save the marriage. Basically it has boiled down that she has 6 kids, and she told him she didn't have to support her or the kids but just pay for himself. But she's been going in the hole with her finances because he hasn't lived up to his end of the deal. He's had trouble getting a job that pays enough (after moving from another state to marry her) and she's projecting out that he will never be able to help so she wants a divorce. Says she loves him still, etc, but no go any more.
TD actually was baffled by her side and position because she wanted the divorce in so short a time. No abuse, physical or mental, just this money problem and him not living up to his end of the 'bargain'. But it finally came out that she married this guy like two weeks after her divorce was final. She said that he was the opposite of her ex husband who was verbally abusive. This guy was nice, treated her nicely, etc etc etc. When that came out, TD basically said I understand this whole thing now. You did have an abusive relationship, this guy was nice to you, etc...what happened is you married your nurse (figuratively speaking of course). And he went on about that some.
But anyway, to make a long story short, he said this woman married way to soon, had not had time to process her other hurt etc, and told the guy some stuff and the final solution was that he needed to walk away and they needed to get the divorce because it was too soon for her. I've just never heard a preacher suggest divorce just because things weren't working out like the woman wanted after just 5 months of marriage.
So what are your thoughts on this?
