You asked:

I was married and got a divorce twice, if I remarrry would God acknowledge
my marriage as long as I repent.

Reply:

First, biblical repentance requires cessation from the particular sin (cp. 2
Cor. 7: 10, 11).  A drunkard cannot repent while he continues in his
drunkenness.  Consider the below regarding divorcement:

All any one can do is refer you to Matthew 5: 32 and 19: 9.  The innocent
mate, not guilty of adultery and did not cause it, is allowed to divorce the
guilty mate for their adultery.  The innocent mate, then, is free to
remarry.  If you will go to Bible Truths and while on the home page, enter,
and then click "Archives and Index" in the table, you will find material on
"Marriage," "Divorce," and "Remarriage" in the subject index (scroll down).
