Christians get married in church before God and swear "till death us do part"
Both God and Jesus hate divorce, Matthew 19:9 says,
"I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery"
Adultery is a major problem in the Christian faith.
First, one of the commandments in the Ten Commandments specifically forbids adultery. Even worse, in Leviticus 20 we find this:
"If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbour, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death".
Adulterers get the death penalty.
Clearly, God and Jesus want Christians to stay married for life.
Given all of this isnt a little surprising that the divorce rate amongst Christians is higher than amongst atheists???
Go figure!
