Not all Christians share that belief.
Jesus himself said the only legitimate reason for his followers to get a divorce and remarry without it becoming adultery, was if the other person in the marriage committed adultery. This of course does not mean that a person HAS to get divorced, but does give a clear guideline of what type of divorce is acceptable to God.

The Lord can direct us to look for a specific person to marry. Too often, people get married for the wrong reasons, without seeking marital counseling or guidance. Most of these marriages break up because they were not founded on Godly principles. Now, the Lord can heal hearts, and restore marriages. Even the worst of marriages can be restored through faith in God and a LOT of hard work and trust rebuilding. But this is a choice that both parties must agree to together.
God never intended divorce to happen. The Bible says that Moses allowed it as a concession, because of man's hardness of heart, but from the beginning it was not so. As far as Christians changing things, I don't know. I try to stick to the Word of God and keep it in my heart. I know of others that have altered what God says in His word to suit their own fleshly desires. Those people will have to appear before God on Judgement Day and give account for their actions. May the peace of God bring them to true repentance.

What "Christians" are you talking about. Not all Christians. At least not the ones I go to church with. And we aren't fundamentalist wackos either, just fine Americans like yourself.
Two things at work here. One, how does anyone know if God blesses a marriage. Come on.
And God does forgive. Even divorced people.
So my advice to you is, lighten' up Francis. Quit busting chops.

Why even consider marriage as a religious event? I don't , and I do believe in God!
Some get married in a church,, which is OK,, for those that have strong faith,, but to others I would not ,, I don't like to USE God or the church for my convenience,, Many people get married elsewhere! People make way too much out of religion ,, all you have to do is believe, God is in us! churches are nothing ,but business,, I don't BELIEVE in paying or giving money to worship,, So what is the church anymore anyways,, or yet marriage?>

Let me make myself clear. Legal separation is not a sin if it is consummated for the sake of the children; other reasons make divorce a sin. The Church has also annulled marriages if in its judgement no marriage was consummated because of deceit or other reasons.
Peace and blessings!

Of course, that is the way of the Christian religion. If you are not happy with the way it reads, just change it and declare another denomination. At last count there was 33,830 Christian denominations that have been created for the very reasons you have mentioned along with some other disagreeable stuff.

Having freewill means making the stupid mistakes and doing what we think best for ourselves. Divorce except because of adultery is a sin no matter how you cut it. However if what was started was not of God then we also can not blame him for it ending in divorce.

Can't blame God for man's actions.
It is a sin to get divorced......
Just because 2 ppl get married, it doesn't mean it was of God, ppl do things without God all the time. Its not God's fault.

God does bless marriage, And He loves you too heart and soul and proved it in Jesus amazing grace and forgiveness from all sins that you might come to Him and be his best friend in salvation.
This worked for me John 3 repented of my sins and asked Jesus in my heart to be my best friend. you make a blanket statement that is false to try and prove its ok to do other sin and reject God who you spell with a small g.
In your response you used this question to say its ok to sin because of your opening false assumption, remember that people chose to go against God,
Romans 1 "They were unthankful and worshiped the created rather than the creator, and did that which is unseemly male with male and female with female." You are right both are sins against God-two wrongs dont make a right to go against a loving Jesus and his salvation and forgiveness with power to change from sin= "And such WERE some of you but you have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus."
There are many answers here that disagree with you, of people that agree with the Bible, yet convinced in your own mind would you consider admitting your untruthfulness?
Oh what webs we weave when we practice to decieve.
One day may you be willing to come to truth, I am praying for you-and the many caught in sin, and those the victims of an unfaithful partner-which breaks the heart of God, who even wept because of others unbelief. the shortest verse in the bible "Jesus wept."
praying for you my friend, in Jesus love and care, David a Jew that has come to know Jesus as my savior from sin and best friend too.

Infidelity and willful desertion are the only biblical grounds for divorce.
"Willful desertion as can no way be remedied by the church, or civil magistrate, is cause sufficient of dissolving the bond of marriage.”
