"What are the grounds for divorce in Missouri?

A divorce may be granted in Missouri on the no-fault ground of irretrievable breakdown of marriage; or on the fault grounds of adultery, incompatibility, six months' abandonment, living apart by mutual consent for one year, or two years' living separate and apart."

Marriage is a basic human relationship.

Marriage is God-ordained. "God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them" (Genesis 1:27). The very nature of the way God created human beings to live on the earth indicates He intended man and woman for each other.

Their relationship was to be social as well as physical. "The LORD God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him’ " (Genesis 2:18).

The first woman was a "helper" (a counterpart) for the man, taken from his side, bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh, his perfect complement (Genesis 2:23). It is obvious that God meant them to share in both privilege and responsibility.
God intended marriage to be a lifelong, monogamous union. "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). When this is quoted in Matthew 19:5, a Greek word for united is used that means "to be glued to, be closely bound to."

The Old Testament factually recognized that polygamy did exist. It notes that the first case of polygamy was in Cain’s line (Genesis 4:19) and shows that monogamy was still the ideal (Psalm 128:3; Proverbs 5:18; 31:10—29; Ecclesiastes 9:9). Jesus also acknowledges that God’s ideal in the beginning was monogamy (Matthew 19:8).
