QuestionMy husband who was not born again was previously married and divorced then we got married and was married for 8 years, during the first couple of years he was diagnosed with depression and was treated, (and was not a problem to me) however he went through a very bad patch, and asked for a divorce, which I didn't want, but he was not willing to talk about and he moved out, so I we got divorced, he later got married (3rd wife) but divorced her too but now 3 1/2 years later we met for coffee and he told me he made a mistake, an appologised and was remorseful and it turns out he suffers from bipolar.....and although we loved each other very much, and he has always said that he has never loved anyone as much as me, since we met at the age of 16 he has always loved me and wanted to be with me and I him. Now he wants us to get back together and possibly remarry, however I'm not sure that this is Gods will, he has also just been born again after his 3rd divorce, he has realised that he can't do life with out God in his life. So I just need to know will this be biblical or should I just remain friends with him
AnswerMy advice is to remain friends only. A person with bipolar disorder is very difficult to live with. If you decide to get back together with him, it may be due to your own unresolved issues from childhood that result in a pattern of loss of caring and closeness. I say this because the bipolar is not healthy enough to be in a meaningful relationship.
