[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 107114, member: 35"] jotty4 ji, Guru Granth Sahib ji is silent on marriage with someone who is divorced and/or someone who has children from a previous marriage. Guru ji is remarkable among religious texts for its lack of micromanagement of the affairs of human beings. Seva to God and Seva to humanity, living in dharma, making an honest living, these are the things we are guided toward by the Gurus. On the subject of marriage Guruji does guide us -- usually in the direction that says do not subvert the spirituality in your marriage through the workings of lust, anger, greed, attachment and ego to your spouse or your children, anymore than to anything else in your life. Strive to attach yourself to the Lotus feet of Waheguru. And live in your marriage as soul-mates with Him. Be one soul through 2 bodies. You can link to the shabad below that explains how attachment to spouse and children and relatives affect each individual.
