When a Good Christian Girl’s Marriage Goes Bad Part 2

In part 2 of Leslie’s interview with author Gretchen Baskerville  you’ll hear more about what God has to say about marriage and divorce. They will tackle questions like, ”Is divorce always harmful to kids?” ”Is staying for the kids always the right thing to do?” And, ”Is divorce only permitted when they’re sexual infidelity?” And finally, ”How do you respond if you’re being judged or attacked for leaving a destructive marriage?”

 

Question 1 [1:10] Is Marriage a Permanent Covenant No Matter What?

 

Question 2 [3:50 ] What about the verse, “God hates divorce?”

 

Question 3 [11:03] Is divorce universally destructive to kids?

 

Question 4 [13:40] Is unfaithfulness the only biblically acceptable reason to divorce? And, does unfaithfulness mean only sexual intercourse with someone other than your spouse?

 

Gretchen’s definition of abuse: [19:09]

 

An abuser’s “light side” aka love bombing: [20:39]

 

Question 5: [22:35] How do you deal with pressure from other Christians who don’t agree with your decisions or interpretations?

 

Question 6: [29:10] Who is the authority in your life?
