I in no way passed judgment - I just asked a question. An their children are grown, I will bet any amount of money they do not remain celibate after their divorce.-

They allow Jesus to take the hit for their mistakes.

As a Christian I recognize Jesus did say to try to preserve marriage but gave adultery and fornication as reasons for divorce. If a Christian mate were to divorce because of spousal or child abuse or lack of physical care then it is between them and God. I believe God knows how much a Christian can take. But there are frivolous reasons for why Christians divorce which are taken too lightly.

Well, everyone makes a choice. Those choices will determine how others will look at them. How they are percieved in the world.
Here is something, let those who do evil do evil - but, you must rebuke them and let them know what they are doing is wrong. If they continue to do what is wrong and you told them then guess what? The church and the community have to step up, but once again if they do not listen then God will handle those who continue to sin and not listen to people of God.
Now, the one thing I missed was everyone has a choice and those people can choose between evil and good and our nature (Inside) will choose sinful nature while our heart will want to choose something else which is better and makes us happy and fulfilled.

Malachi 2:16: "I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel, "and I hate a man's covering himself with violence as well as with his garment," says the LORD Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith
Matthew 5:31-32: "It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.' But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."
I Corinthians 7:10-11: To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife

They don't think divorce is okay, it is a tragedy rooted in human sinfulness. Unfortunately there are times when divorce is better than staying together. Especially with children involved one must consider all the consequences of both divorce and remaining together.

TRUE Christians know the conditions for a Scriptural divorce. They are familiar with Jesus' words at Matt. 19:9: "I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery.” At Matt. 5:32, Jesus said: "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."
The term “fornication” is a rendering of the Greek word por·nei′a and includes all forms of illicit sexual relations outside of Scriptural marriage. Hence, Jesus’ words at Matthew 5:32 and 19:9 mean that the only divorce ground that actually severs the marriage bond is por·nei′a on the part of one’s marriage mate. The follower of Christ may avail himself of that divorce provision if that is his desire, and such a divorce would free him to marry an eligible Christian.

In the new testament Christ said "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for martial unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery" Matthew 19:9 Divorce is allowed in adultery.

It makes me sad, that a couple that lead so many will divorce. But it also reminds me of the stress that pastors have on their home life. We are called to pray for our leadership in our churches. I wonder how many lifted them up?
While it is a way for satan to say, see- they aren't reallly Christian. I knew it all the time, won't you believe me? We forget that he isn't the judge, he is the accuser.
Whatever their circumstances are, I am sure that they hurt as much as anyone getting divorced, or any family being torn apart.

If someone is in a bad marriage, regardless of what makes it bad: aldultery, lies, lack of respect, abuse, etc., why shold someone continue to be miserable in their life? I know some people do take an "easy out." But some people, even good Christians, get fed up in a bad situation and it is best for all parties involve to move on and try to get everyone into a more positive environment.

Who are Randy and Paula White? I'm a Christian who believes divorce is unlawful except in cases of marital unfaithfulness.

I do not think divorce is o.k.. I think it is a very sad thing.
But, I do not believe in staying married to an abusive or cheating person. And I don't think the Lord would want that for any of his children either.
We don't know what goes on in other peoples marriages, and we have no right to judge them.
Jesus Bless You
