Why are we scared of separation? I will share my personal view… Because it’s limbo land! Because most churches teach that being separated is just as good as being divorced so the people involved are free to date other people. So it’s a license to “see” if you want to stay with your spouse and test it against other people. It puts the couple into a “just in case” role. Who wants sanctioned adultery in their life? I for one don’t!
keep it up.
