A few weeks ago, I was in conversation with someone. The person asked me my thoughts on a very delicate topic; I will ask your opinion. Today, many women seek love, and sometimes it seems so far away, but the possibility of it may come along with a challenge. Imagine you have a close friend. You share many good times with your friend and their spouse or significant other. Either by separation, divorce, or death, your friend and their significant other or spouse are no longer together. Now the question is, is it acceptable for you to form a personal relationship with the other individual? Is it ok?
Hence, how do you view the situation? Do you consider it differently depending on whether your friend is still alive or has moved onto another relationship? What considerations, if any, should you give to the mutual friends you each share? Does one look at it as an answer to their prayers? Does anything make forming a relationship with the person right or wrong? Are you familiar with any couples, including yourself, who are or have been in relationships of this sort? Is it ok?
Lastly, I guess it all boils down to what a person is comfortable doing. We live in a time where so many things are uncertain. Day-to-day life changes and goes in many different directions we never considered. I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject. You can respond anonymously without using your name if you wish. Let us know, is it ok? I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Psalms 32:8 I’ll be back next week with a new post, “Oh, What A Difference A Day Makes!”
Be encouraged, and God bless!

WOW!!! This is a situation with concerns, considerations and much needed prayer. Are there children and if yes, are their feelings being considered? If the ex is still living, how strong is the friendship with her? However, if this is something that was meant to be and God has His hand in/on the situation – who am I (we) to question it? Hey, I know the scenario is a bit different, but I was upset with the whole Biblical Hosea/Gomer story until I realized that God was/is in control and had a PURPOSE for the whole ordeal. So no judgement here and whatever the outcome my hope is that it is accepted/approved by God and not just emotional/physical desires being fulfilled.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us. Much to consider in the choices we make in life. But, whatever God approves rules! God bless you and shower you with grace and mercy!
