God will not keep them from getting divorced.... but being a Christian will help YOU get thru it no matter what happens to your parents. The strength, wisdom and peace that Jesus brings to us can help us get thru pretty much anything a lot easier than if we don't have Him in our lives.
people have free will and will choose what suits 'them', many times disregarding how it hurts others. talk with your parents and let them know how their relationship breaking up affects you... they need to know YOUR feelings, cuz likely they are only thinking of themselves at this point.
God bless... seek out Jesus!

Just because you become a Christian doesn't mean that God will make your parents marriage okay again. He can, however, if they turn to Him. They have to believe and have faith and take the necessary steps to rebuild their marriage. God doen't want people to divorce, but sometimes it's necessary. Like if one spouse is abusive to the other one. God doesn't like that so sometimes it's good to divorce, but that's never God's will. When you say wedding vows before God only He knows if you really meant them or not and are going to keep them. It's His will that you keep them. My real advice to you is if you want to become a Christian, it's the best choice that you will ever make. Though nothing will be perfect after the choice is made, and your parents could still divorce, He will be there for you no matter what. He's the friend that sticks closer than a brother and He said that He would never leave us or forsake us as long as we trust in Him.
If you're really worried about your parents, talk to a local pastor maybe he/she can give you words of encouragment and some advice.

Sorry but no. God dosen't guard against things like that. If they were meant to divorce, then they'll divorce. God will help you cope through the hard times and pain, but he can't stop your parents from making their choice to leave each other. Just remember this experience and use that knowledge for when you get married. Hopefully you won't make the same mistakes your parents made and you'll stay in love with that one person for life.

You becoming a servant of the True God., would be the best choice that you can make in your life. Your parents would hav eto make the choices that are best for them. God did not cause their seperation. ( he will not fix it. ) But it can be fixed if they followed Gods counsel from the Bible for both Hubands and Wives.
God performed the first marriage with Adam and Eve.
Marraige: The union of a mans and a woman to live together as husband and wife according to the standard set out in the Holy Scriptures. Marriage is a divine institution. It provides for the intimate relationship between husband and wife along with a feeling of security because there is a climate of love and because a personal commitment has been made by each mate. When establishing marraaige, Jehovah did so not only to provide a close companion who would be a compliment of man but also to make provision for producing more humans and doing so with n a family arrangement.
Things that can help to improve a marriage.
1) studying god's Word together regularly and prauing to God for help in resolving problems. (2tim. 3:16,17-Prov. 3:5,6-Phil4:6,7)
2) Appreciating the principle of headship. This puts a heavy responsibility on the husband. (1Cor.11:3 - Eph. 5:25-33 -Col.3:19)
Also it call for ernest effort on the part of the wife.( Eph.5:22-24,33-
col. 3:18, 1Pet. 3:1-6)
3) Confining sexual intrest to one's mate. (Prov.5:15-21-Heb. 13:4) Loving concern for the needs of one's mate can help to safeguard that one against temptation to wrong doing. (1Coth. 7:2-5)
4) Speaking in a kindly, considerate manner to each other; avoinding outburst of anger, nagging, and harsh critical remarks.
(Eph. 4;31,32 Prov. 15:1;20:3, 21:9: 31: 26,28)
5) Providing needed love, training, and discipline for the children, if there are any.
( Titus. 2:4-Eph. 6:4-Prov. 13:24 ,29:14

I can't even say how my heart hurts for you.
You becoming a Christian and giving your life to Christ will INEVITABLY affect the people closest to you, perhaps even your parents. They will see a wonderful change in you and could possibly become curious about it. They might in turn find the desire to come to Christ as well, and then turn towards each other with forgiving and loving hearts.
HOWEVER, please, understand that your parents decision is based on their own standing with Christ. If Christ was the center of their lives, then they would be honoring each other instead of trying to get out of the relationship. Even in hard times, Christians are called to be forgiving and loving. PERIOD. Any person you see claiming to be a Christian who is unwilling to be either of these things is losing sight of what Christ died for.
Unfortunately, you becoming a Christian will not make anyone else stop from doing what is against God's will. We are made in God's image, but have Free Will to do what we want. If we love God, then we want to do things that glorify Him. If we do not love God, then we do what glorifies ourselves, in this case, get a divorce and tear apart our children.
Please, run to Christ, regardless of what your parents are doing. He alone can keep your parents from getting divorced, but it will be by your parents asking Him for help. In the meantime, PRAY to God and ask Him to soften their hearts. As we are told in the Bible, divorce is only caused by hardness of hearts, not affairs or disagreements or whatever else peole try to blame it on. It is by their own hardness, coldness, unwillingness to love and forgive.

If you become a christian, you will understand why GOD has nothing to do with your parents getting divorced. Don't blame GOD for what is wrong with this world. Remember, there is Satan at work here too. If you truely want to know GOD, open your heart and pray. Thank you and may GOD bless.

He could... but he dose things his way... and if there is reason he will allow it to continue... That is not the reason to become a "Christian" any way... and it would not work if you did.... you can not just say " I am a Christian" And have it be for real....
only those who come to God in The Way He prescribes will receive His free gift of Salvation and become part of The Church... those are The True Christians.

We were all created by Jehovah with the gift of free will. So your parents will have that final decision. You can pray to Jehovah God through Jesus Christ about it and pray that everything works out for the better. Go to your local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses and ask for a book The Secret to Family Happiness, it's free. This book has helped people all over the world and I'm sure would help your parents if they apply the Bible based counsel inside the book. Or go to the link below.

One becomes a believer in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, crucified and resurrected after three days for their own individual salvation. God may, in answer to pray, preserve the marriage of your parents but salvation and where you spend eternity is not a trading game with God. I believe that most divorces are a result of Godlessness in the home. Satan is alive and well, living in and manipulating the world to his own evil ends and desires. Work out your salvation first, keep praying, and then maybe your parents will see the change in you and work on their own salvation and their marriage. I pray for you.
