My divorce made me face this coveting subject. My jewish Bible illustrates by saying you don't covet lady Diana, cause you can't have her, not possible or some other queen like lady. But your exwife you know everything about her so it makes you crazy to know she is with someone else.
Paul might have been divorced. He does not say. But the topic comes up in Romans 7 and I Corinthians 7.
Paul said he kept all the law except he was coveting in Romans 7, the one heart attitude. No one else saw it but he knew it. The law even made it worse somehow. So he had an internal struggle. He ended up realizing he needed grace and one law to be overcome by another law in Romans 8.
The pain of divorce can invigorate you spiritually or it can lead to infected spiritual wounds from stumbling. It is important to take time to be single and whole and avoid rebound relationships as they say in Divorce Care support groups.
