A Friend, who shall remain anonymous, currently in an abusive marriage wrote this:  It is said in the bible once a mans wife, always a mans wife. There is no such thing as divorce. Till death do us part. If you are dating someone who has been thru a divorce, or are divorced do you believe thier soul is attached to thier astranged husband or wife and can never be attached again? Is this really how this works?

To which I replied:  This is scripture I felt Holy Spirit led me to during my period of uncertainty. 

1 Corinthians 7:15:  But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.

While Thomas & John professed with their mouth they believed; they actions spoke another language all together.  I physically left John.  In situation of abuse; I don’t believe that God wants us to stay in that.  Would be contrary to the very nature of God.  Plus, he had left the marriage and my well being the moment, he put his hands on me; and when he came down to the kitchen and announced “Unless you give me $1,000, I’m going to make your life a living hell.”  Unbeliever if I ever heard one.  you dig?  With Thomas, I prayed for God to remove him; since it was literally my house, Thomas moved into.  2 days after the prayer; Thomas announced he was leaving.  Fine.  “take what you want and leave the keys on your way out.” He did.  6 months later we were divorced; he was remarried with a son.”  It appeared to be a win-win situation for me; seems there were a few things only God knew.

What can you add to the conversation?
