As a Christian, can I get a separation from my husband?

Answer by  lonelywolf (2117)

Legally, you can get a separation from your husband regardless of your religion. Without knowing what particular Christian denomination you belong to, its hard to know for sure.

Many religions frown on separations and divorcing your husband. But in the bible there was divorce and reasons for obtaining one for both the wife and husband. In the Baptist faith they do not have any issues with you getting a divorce, Catholic religion however it is a painstacking process.

The Bible states the only reason you should divorce is if one spouse is unfaithful. It also says one spouse should not withhold sex from the other, unless it's mutual.

Yes. A separation is acceptable, as long as you are still sexually faithful to him. To have a relationship with someone other than your husband while separated is adultery, both religiously and legally. A divorce is not recognized in many Christian denominations, but this depends on your membership and beliefs.
