Would You Divorce So You Can Immigrate?
Sometimes status is all that matters or rather the lack thereof.
AN UNCONFIRMED HUNCH
Three days ago, I wrote about faith being a necessity in marriage. One of the definitions of Faith is “firm belief in something for which there is no proof”. (4) Specifically, I focused on it pertaining to the teachings of biblical reference. Faith is an important element of marriage. When it is lost I think the marriage is lost.

DUBIOUS WITHHOLD OR WAITING FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT?
When I first met my wife, in 2022 I did not know she was illegal. She held a driver’s license, had a normal job and even talked about her mother’s social security checks. We kept a relationship going. It started off pretty good! Trips to Vegas, helicopter bookings and fancy fun diners. One day she claimed she had a conversation with a close friend. The close friend advised her she needed to tell me. She couldn’t keep me involved so emotionally without telling me the truth.
