Welcome back to the Masculinist, the newsletter about how we live as Christian men and as the church in the modern world. When Your Wife Divorces You A reader emailed me earlier this year to say: I am now at the age (sadly) when I have some good Christian male friends who have been abandoned by their wives and are now divorced against their will. In many cases it seems that this leads to bitterness towards the church and God, and they become very difficult people to maintain fellowship with.They are often erratic, emotional, paranoid about gossip, judgmental of others, and hostile towards anyone who has spoken hard truths to them. They lash out against people, complain of a lack of support and at the same time they actively avoid contact with Christian brothers & sisters, etc. How can we best love our Christian brothers when painful things like this happen to them
