Matthew 5:32 (King James Version)
32But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

You are free to divorce, but you are not free to remarry unless she dies or comes back to you. 1 Corinthians 7:39 "A married woman must remain with her husband as long as he lives. If her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but only if the man is a believer." The vow to love only one person is in effect until one of the two dies. You can divorce to maintain peace, but you are not permitted by God to remarry until one party dies. Romans 7:2 "2For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband." In black and white.

Regardless, again, I have gone to Christian counseling, and they have given me a biblical clearance. I'm sure they know what they're doing. |
It is too bad that your pastor is taking your first marriage vows so lightly.

| As for "giving up everything", . . . . no one can do that, and it borders on legalism. Reality states that one will never be able to "give up everything" and mean it literally. |
What Jesus wants us to do is to strive to obey everything He commands including marriage and remarriage. Striving to be faithful to Him is not legalism. |
