"I hate divorce, says the LORD God of Israel." Malachi 2:16
"So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate" Matthew 19:6
"But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery." Matthew 5:32
"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." Genesis 2:24.
The Bible is very clear about divorce and remarriage. The ONLY condition in which divorce is acceptable is adultery. Many people state that there are other conditions for divorce such as physical and emotional abuse. The problem with this is that Jesus says explicitly that the only case in which we can divorce someone is marital unfaithfulness. If the relationship is physically or emotionally abusive, separation is a good idea. Just because you don't live together, doesn't mean that you need to be divorced. What God has joined, man should not separate. There is ALWAYS a chance for reconciliation. With prayer and mutual forgiveness, any marriage can be successful.
