Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?
Haven't you read, he replied, that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female',
and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?
So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.
Why then, they asked, did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?
Jesus replied, Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. (Matthew 19)
Jesus is saying one man for one woman. Do you agree with this idea. Why or why not?

I'm kinda of iffy about divorce too. Sometimes I think it is a necessary evil, but I also think that some people get divorced for stupid reasons.
Abuse--good reason for a divorce.
I don't love you anymore--bad reason for a divorce.
(my opinion)

I'm with you on the Abuse and cheating and Jesus Himself said adultury is grounds for marriage, but a lot of people get divorced for stupid reasons.
