I know my husband doesn’t carry a flame for his ex. That’s why he would prefer a cancellation if possible, but was told that only a clearance is allowed unless his ex remarried. I’m still learning. And the process of sealing, cancellation and clearance are all so new to me. My husband keep reassuring me that it will be just him and I in heaven and the Heavenly Father will make it all right.
This is not based on a fear of my husband carrying a torch. Rather, my marriage being a holy union between myself and my spouse through eternity. And like most people I don’t want to have to think about someone else (whoever it should be) getting the same privileges as me his wife for all of eternity when that person didn’t cherish the covenant they made.
