Most people I know get married til death. I don't think they plan on it ending, but there are many circumstances that cause a marriage to break up. People change. I don't think abusive men, plan on hurting their wives at the wedding ceremony. But at the wedding husbands and wives make a promise to God, each other, families and friends to be faithful to each other. When a marriage falls apart that promise is broken. That is a sin and forgiveness has to happen.

No, God doesn't like it. However, He allows it. But there is a really Grey line on what constitutes an allowable divorce. Biblically speaking. Mostly it's when one spouse has messed around with someone else. Now, please understand this. If you are in a violent relationship, leave! I have a sister in-law that was told by her pastor that she had to stay with her physically abusive husband. He messed around and he said she had to stay, he spent all their savings at the casino and he said she had to stay. She stayed and was the most miserable person for 3 years, until this low life died of a heart attack. Listen, Biblical wisdom is very great wisdom, but it's not the only wisdom out there! Don't count this as a get outta jail free card to divorce for any reason that tickles your fancy! There are very ridiculous reasons indeed.

marriage is a sacred relationship ordained by God. BUT so many people go into it thinking it's "no big deal" As one person put it, people spend more time preparing to get a driver's license than they do preparing for marriage. No one should get married until he or she has read several RECOGNIZED books on marriage, and every couple who wants to get married should be required by law to go through a minimum of six sessions of pre-marriage counseling. As the old fashioned vows used to say, marriage "should not be entered into lightly" In other words, it's a big deal and people need to get educated about what they're getting into before they marry.

Hi,
To let you no I'm a teen, but I'm God fearing.Before I answer your question I would like to remind you that God is a forgiving God, For he said, I will never leave you nor forsake you. What ever you choose let go and let God. I don't think divorce is of God, but He also let's things happen for a reason. My father is a preacher and he is divorced from his first wife. So to tell you the truth it's how ever the cookie crumbles. We must remember that
marriage is sacred God knows your heart. If you had no idea your spouse was like that then that's okay, cause we all make mistakes. Reply and let me know how it goes.

I believe God would not want you to continue in an emotionally abusive marriage. He wants all of his children to lead healthy, happy lives. I truly believed when I married that it was for life. I did everything posssible to remain in this marriage, my ex did not believe in us anymore. He had built a new life, with children ,with another woman before & after we married. He chose to give up. Sometimes God has other plans. Sometimes we make mistakes, God gives us the strenght to survive a divorce & continue this journey we call life. I am recently divorced, it is like dying inside, everything you built , believed in with your partner turns out to be a lie. The betrayals, the deception, the lack of trust, the affairs. God understands if you have to move on with your life, sometimes divorce is the only option.

I think God would agree that it is for the best when Bob beats Angie that Angie says **** you I am divorcing your ***. You are right though, people need to thoroughly consider marriage more now a days, because people are splitting left and right. I'd say cheating can be forgivable given the situation. Love is supposed to conquer all. The only thing I don't think it can conquer is being wasted on someone who gives none back.

you couldn't be more right about today's society,however to answer the text of your question, god does make allowances for divorce if adultery was an issue, and physical abuse, now this mostly applies to a one sided party and if both parties are bound to hurt each other through revenge, then it is my opinion that they should try to work things out or at least try to become civil and amiable. because after all now both of them have sinned greatly and one is no better than the other.

You know what,marriage is just a piece of paper with names on it,
and the rings are just fancy jewlery,it doesnt mean anything.
I think that we should just be like Goldie Hawn And Kurt Russell,caz I mean it seems like more and more people stay together.
