My cousin went to Canada in February to meet a Witness sister who is scriptually divorced from her husband. They found that they liked each other enough to continue a relationship.. ( He lives in the United States) He went back to Canada 19 days later to ask her in marriage.(She said..... YES!)
Here is our conversation:
Cousin: Did you hear the news?
Me: Yes! You met a sister in Canada. I'm happy for you!
Cousin: Actually, I went there to ask her if she would like to get married!
Me: Wow! .......Isn't that kind of soon? You only met her less than a month ago!
Cousin : Well...it's kind of hard to date someone that lives so far away. I found that she is a really good spiritual sister.We know that everything will work out if Jehovah is in the middle!
Me : That's good! But haven't you seen all the divorces in our congregation? There's been at least 6 divorces in our congregation alone.They all had Jehovah in the middle!
Cousin: They had Jehovah in the middle but never made him the third cord!
Me: People who marry in the same religion divorce just as much as couples who have different faiths!
Cousin: That's true! But,the only Jehovah's Witnesses who divorce are brothers or sisters who don't make Jehovah their third cord. They really weren't true Witnesses if they divorce!
HOPE THIS MARRIAGE LASTS!
