I feel for Melody! I understand the pain of divorce! She had already experienced the death of husband Keith and now another death not he same because this man is still alive! It hurts all the same! And if I understand it right..she had every right to file!:). It seems when you have the truth the devil tries to kill it! That word is LOVE And is all that ever came out the Greens! My life too!:)

Why do you have to bemoan the fact that Melody Green's second marriage is on the rocks? I mean, there are millions of married couples, whose marriages are the same way and you seem to want to belittle this woman, simply because she's a Christian, who runs a ministry.
If she'd been a rock star (one of those people, who change wedding bands, weekly), the media would think nothing of it. However, for her to be a Christian and have any sort of problem is frowned upon by people, who are excessively judgmental!

I see some are speculating Melody left the marriage because of pining for Keith... I doubt seriously that is the case knowing what I know about her passion for Christ. We do not know the circumstances which led to the separation and divorce, but what we need to remember is -- there are Biblical reasons for both actions... and yet the church keeps dismissing this truth, thereby treating marriage like an idol. Should a wife/husband turn a blind eye to unfaithfulness and/or patterns of serious sin in the spouse? After seeking counsel but seeing no desire for genuine repentance in an offending spouse, should the other pretend all is well when it is not?... Some would answer, "yes," but is that what scripture really teaches? Dishonesty is not what God called us to. Enabling sin, likewise, is not what we are called to. When we vowed to love, honor, and cherish our spouse that means sometimes love also must be tough... it must speak the truth or we are not loving well. Melody sought separation, not divorce. I trust she had a Biblical reason for it. Her husband is the one who ended the marriage.

Why don't people stop judging others. Pharisees hypocrites and self righteous so called christians. ....Mind your own business. The Jesus I know, loves and only loves!! Their reasons are private and should be respected.

Step into Melody"s shoes. They may fit you (I am a widow) but they don't feel comfortable. That's because even if we wear the same size, they walked another path. We all need hinds feet. The road is hard, and the travel is lonely. A Ponting finger has three pointing back. Let him that is without sin cast the first stone. There are no disappointments in Heaven! Keith left an amazing legacy, and Melody had the strength to carry on.

May the Lord be with you through this trying time, Melody. God also hates those who judge, for only He has that right.

How can all of you people claim to love Jesus and then reject and twist and pervert His words. God doesn't just hate divorce, He rejects those who divorce for all eternity if they refuse to repent and keep on justifying themselves which is blasphemy. There are only two reasons for divorce. Did God stutter? HRD HEARTED ADULTERY and physical abandonment. That's it! What don't you people get. How much clearer can God Be!!?

I have never read anywhere in the Word of God that divorce is the unpardonable sin and that there is no forgiveness for divorce. What Bible are you getting your info from? I suggest to anyone that is standing in judgement of Melody's husbands decision to divorce her should judge themselves first, actually that is what Jesus recommends!

I momentarily googled to see what Melody looked like now( having just come across an old Last Days PIC), and was shocked by news of her divorce.All blessings be to her.Keith has lived his tough life, now she must live hers.And although ' God hates divorce', He does not hate divorcees ( as some misguided Christians seem to think.Sadly, I have I passed thru that trauma, and so if has our Father...see Jeremiah 31.31 & I experience His love & grace more and more each day, nonetheless!

I trust Melody is fully aware of God's will, and I leave it to Him. I don't know the particulars, and anything else is pure speculation. I pray, and that's all I'm given to do; not given to know anything else, all I am to do is give her love and believe the best in her. I Cor. 13

Uh-oh, now we have judgers judging the judges for judging others....is that also judgement.
I hope when you look at the reality of the above statement one can realize that no one should be saying anything. (not even me).
