Often churches allow for divorce in three cases:
1) infidelity (as stated in the Bible)
2) the case listed above-- a non-believing spouse who leaves the marriage
3) abuse (not stated in the Bible)

Thanks for the clarification!! I'm not living with my husband, but I dont want him think he can divorce me if I'm not living with him. What if someone needs their space to regroup? Is it that bad? I'm a faithful woman, I was just overwhelmed with things that still didn't improve in our marriage. Sometimes people mature when they aren't living with their partner. I dont plan on that happening all the time, that's for sure. I relied on a person from church to explain my curcumstances to her and before you know it 3 other people knew! So I dont trust that person anymore, and she was my oulit. Now I can't talk to anyone but I at least can on this site!!
