Q: Nine years ago I had a son with my boyfriend that I learned later was separated from his wife. I was hurt and shocked by his dishonesty. He left for another country and now years later he has resurfaced. My son is excited and to tell the truth so am I. I still love this man and I have forgiven him for the past. My gut feelings tell me to continue seeing him and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I have prayed for guidance and I believe that god will not lead my astray.

A: Well at this point it seems right. He has filed for a divorce he wants to return to the life of you and his son’s. It sounds great. But, does he feel as spiritually about this as you do? You should find out. Because together prayers will help you both focus on being a family and being two responsible parents to your son. A family that prays together – stays together. Hopefully, all three of you are on the same page as far a allowing god into your life.
