Christians: Is divorce ever the right decision?

Answer 1

What did Jesus Say? Since the beginning it wasn't meant to be. A man should find His woman & they two should become one flesh. So? Moses allowed the writing of divorsement, because of the hardness of mans heart (abusive) or because of ones spouse committing adultery. But this wasn't Gods purpose.

But, divorce is the right decision sometimes, because people are disobedient to God & are physically abusive to their spouse or committing adulteries.

Answer 2

I don't think divorce is ever the right decision, I say that cuz God can change a bad marriage into an awesome marriage if you put him first in your life and pray always for your spouse, I know cuz I never thought my marriage would work but god intervened and now I have the best marriage, nothing is impossible threw Christ Jesus, remember that.

Answer 3

Even God allowed that in cases of infidelity that divorce is allowed. I also believe that if your spouse is abusing you or more importantly, your children that is crucial to get out. However, I also know that God hates divorce because he did design marriage to be such a beautiful thing. I think that a person should try as hard as possible to keep their marriage together. And should a person divorce, they should not remarry.

Answer 4

As Jesus put it. No, but due to the Hardness of our hearts. However I do not believe that you are supposed to be killed in the process.

In addition if you married to a non believer and they want to go away then you are not to stop them.


God Does operate by grace and so should be.

It is never the right decision but sometimes the best given a certain set of circumstances.

Answer 5

according to the bible, Matt 5:32 states However, I say to YOU that everyone divorcing his wife, except on account of fornication, makes her a subject for adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Also Matt 19:9 states  I say to YOU that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery.”
Divorce is a personal decision, between those two people and God. The decision is one that should be based on the Bible, because God "hates a divorcing".

Answer 6

According to scripture,only in cases of marital unfaithfulness (Matthew 19). Scripture is as far as I know silent on the issue of domestic violence, but common sense would dictate that God would accept divorce when it is used as a means to escape a spouse who poses an ongoing physical threat. All the other 'good' reasons men and women give for divorcing, are still a no-no according to scripture.

Answer 7

Jesus said adultery is the only grounds for divorce. (Matthew 5)


I believe divorce is ok when abuse is involved. The bible is very clear about how married couples are supposed to treat one another in Ephesians 5. The bible also says ALL sins are forgiven when we accept Christ as our Savior. God knows our hearts...

Answer 8

Have you been divorced? Do you think God blesses the unity of two people that resent and hurt each other constantly? Does he want these people together when the children have to live with such a hostile environment? I doubt it. I think God wants people to be happy so they can correct their mistakes.

Answer 9

Yes, of course. Marriage and divorce should not be taken lightly but there are many reasons when divorce is right and necessary

Answer 10

There are some cases where there is danger and people need to get out quickly. But most divorces are preventable if both husband and wife are willing to work hard at it.
