In a divorce caused by sexual immorality, the offended spouse may remarry immediately; the offending spouse should pursue reconciliation and may only remarry after clear rejection of all reconciliation attempts

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 18) 01:13:16 – 01:15:20

Question from Giant Mushroom Tree about whether the offending (sexually immoral) spouse may remarry.

Mike's position: the innocent/offended spouse has immediate grounds for remarriage. The offending spouse remains bound to pursue reconciliation. They may only remarry when (a) it is clear reconciliation has been definitively rejected — especially once the ex-spouse has married someone else. Mike cautions that a desire to stop pursuing reconciliation may reflect residual bitterness rather than genuine exhaustion of options, and urges the offending party to address their heart.
