: I thought I was following my heart.How can the Church say that God ok annulments, where in the Bible does it say that?
Sounds like you still love your first husband, and you will always surely feel a deep bond with him. But if you left him and re-married and got an annulment, then you are in a new marriage.
Christ acknowledged that Jewish Law allowed for divorce. The Church granted you an annulment because there was probably evidence that your first marriage had problems which invalidated its sacramental nature.
Be at peace about all this. It's never easy to go through divorce, for sure, but that doesn't mean the devil's in the driver's seat of your life.
