I cheated on my husband and now I think my child might be the other guy's, what should I do?

I just found out that my husband committed adultery. It has been going on for at least 6 months and we have only been married for 7 months.

(paraphrased) My daughter became a Christian after marriage, but her husband is unsaved, and an alcoholic.

The following questions have been grouped together-What does the Bible say about living together and sleeping together before marriage?
-I've just contracted herpes and I was told that it's an STD. My husband and I have never had sex before we were married so how did this happen? Does it mean that one of us has lied prior to marriage?
- Commitment
- Divorce

I read what you said about divorce but in Deuteronomy, God said if a man finds uncleanness in his wife, he can give her a divorcement? Can you explain?

These two questions came at different times, but I believe they could be related. 1. If a husband is into drunkenness, he steals from his wife and their children, he has been verbally and physically abusive, and he has had extra martial affairs, is she wrong for divorcing him (paraphrased)?

I have an old born again friend who is married to a non practicing Jehovah's Witness. Would you class them as unequally yoked? His wife is also threatening to leave him if he does not start to follow her to her meetings. He asked me for advice a few weeks ago but I am not sure what to tell him, what would you suggest?

My family believes that if you divorce for any reason and remarry another, you are living in sin. That I also believe, but the confusing thing [that] I cannot get them to see is if that divorced person now gets saved [they shouldn't go back to the first husband or wife.]

Prior to becoming born again, I married a Muslim man. The marriage ceremony was performed by a Muslim priest (Imam). Am I married to this man in the eyes of God?

Is it wrong for a Christian wife to leave a non-Christian husband? The marriage is unbearable.

Should a Christian woman stay in a marriage of verbal abuse for over 20+ years when the husband refuses to go and get some help and counseling and is angry at the whole world and he is also a racist. He has repeatedly said that he has done nothing wrong and that he is not changing for anyone especially his wife and daughter.

I was married to a man who called himself a Christian and who ended up beating me all day. I asked for help and we got separated for one year. I accepted him back, because he said he was now a new man and also because of our two boys. He continued to beat on all of us. We got divorced. I found this.man to whom I am married now and we are truly happy. We are a real family. The children are great and we attend a local Christian church always with a great joy in our hearts. My question is: am I living in sin? Thanks

I was wondering if you would comment on a husband who is mentally and verbally abusive but who is also a Christian? I know this to be true, because while I do feel that he loves me, he also goes to church with me almost every Sunday and he and I are involved in Bible studies.

Is it ok to leave a husband who can't provide financially for his wife? What should a Christian wife do if her Christian husband can't provide for her financially?

This is a follow-up question to "What should a wife do whose husband will not support her?" He has not kept a job - but is either fired or walks off of the job. He does not seem to have the ambition to support himself or his family. There are 5 children involved in this marriage.

I have been in sooo many adulterous relationships...that I do not even know if I can remember all of them. I have prayed to God for forgiveness and I realize that I need to do the same for my ex spouse.

Hi! I am a Christian and have been married for 18 years. I have had 3 adulterous relationships over the years. One of them my husband knows about, the other 2 he does not know about. The first 2 occurred very close to each other. That was around 10 years ago. My marriage survived, but barely. The other one happened recently. It was a one-time thing.

I am a Christian who committed the sin of adultery in marriage. My wife rightly divorced me. I walked away from all I believed.

Before I became a Christian I was married and got divorced. A few years later I go remarried still not a Christian. Now that I am a Christian [but] was not at that time, does the Lord still hold that sin today against me?

How can I be 100% sure that God wants us to be together? I just want to make sure that this is God's will or else this relationship will be nothing. How can I be 100% sure that he's the one for me according to God's will? Please pray for me.
