Yes. If the wife is with the Lord. Remember the marriage vow? Till death do us part. Not divorce, but death. So, if you divorced your spouse, you cannot re-marry even if the spouse married another person. If you desire to live a life that is pure and blameless, you should not re-marry.

The main reason is that Jesus Himself said that when a man and a woman marry, the two shall become one. Try taking one complete picture and break it apart. It is no longer nice to see and you know that something is wrong. They have become one not just through the physical act of consummation but also one in the spirit. That is why a divorce is a painful tragedy. Try breaking or tearing apart your hands. It is painful, and likewise a divorce. What God has joined as one, let no man break it apart.

Let’s use the complete picture again as an analogy. When it is torn apart, it is definitely out of the mind to try to put part of another different picture and combine it together. That is not the original picture as it is intended to be. Likewise, God has a beautiful picture of you and your spouse. You break it apart with a divorce, but don’t bring in another who is not in the original plan of God. Unless, the spouse died and God will paint a new picture of you.
