3175.—Putting Away One's Wife

By Editor

Can any one put away his wife and be married to another without fornication if he finds out that his wife is helpless, useless, and untrustworthy? How must he do?

The true and Christian way to do is to bear with his wife. He ought to have found out some of those things before he was married. The Bible gives but one cause of putting away, and that is fornication. Sometimes the uselessness and helplessness of one's wife depend largely upon the husband. It is a misfortune of course if one has a wife of this kind, or a wife has a husband of this sort; but the better way is to bear patiently the burden which one has chosen, and so develop even stronger character for God.
