Actually he did say something Matt. 5:3-321. "It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." It appears he didn't like it. Now I understand that there are people that are in situations that require divorce, esp. abusive relationships, but if we went rushing headlong into the marriage for the wrong reasons how can that be considered God's fault. Too many people disvalue marriage now, considering it to be a trasitory thing, leaving their bridges up and and well taken care of instead of burning them as they should. When my grandparents got married for them there was no possibility of divorce, they did not even consider it, they were one in the eyes of God and they intended to stay that way and they have had to work for that but they have earned the deep enduring love which many aspire to but few obtain. This life is work who would consider marriage to be any less.

GOD acts as HE wishes, and chooses from Eternity whom HE wishes to join together, and no two arbitrarily picking each other moves HIM from HIS Eternal decision. HE only says HE hates a divorce in the context of it being necessary for Esau to have divorced the wrong women. HE hated Esau while he chose just anyone to marry, and in the Ten Commandments says not to commit adultery, and nothing against divorce.
If HE doesn't bring two together, their coming together is loathesome in HIS sight, and they can get an anullment without ever having had a divorce of a legitimate marriage.
JESUS defined adultery as looking at a woman not one's own, and said that on such a basis alone could one end a legitimate marriage. There are biblical examples of HIM ending illegitimate "marriages", then being WITNESS to a real Marriage after that.

Walk Throw the light, since u have the light
Jesus didn't say anything about divorce, But he gave us the secret of Marriage in the Church, when u got married, its in front of God before People, so when 2 people divorced, they Are Breaking the bound that God Blessed them by it. Can you live you re life knowing that u have Betrayed God's Blessing ??

Jesus never married, or if he did, didn't live long as a married man, so he is no authority on spousal abuse or other things that rear their ugly heads in a marriage, except to make rules.. I'd think you might want to look to the epistles of Paul for that.

Depends on the reasons for divorce. I dont think Jesus would want someone staying in an abusive relationship.

God the Father married Adam to Eve. If you have spiritual grounds for a divorce, you can divorce your mate and remarry. But, if you can work it out, you should. If you divorce without spiritual grounds and remarry, your committing adultery in God's eyes. Since Jesus is the perfect reflection of his Father, he feels the same way. Spiritual grounds for a divorce is if your mate commits adultery or fornication.

there is something in the Bible about divorcing, although I can't tell you exactly where it is.....
(paraphrasing) It says that whoever actually wants to divorce is sinning... and if they get remarried that it is adultery. It's something like that.
It's wrong, I do know that.... of course, the other person is going to get hurt..

According to the Bible, Jesus would have called them adulterers for divorcing and remarrying,
Is the bible a reliable source for moral guidance?
NO...

I think he would agree that some couples ought never have gotten married in the first place.

sorry i'm not really sticking to the topic 100%
people change..... and to think that 2 people that are madly in love could grow apart.. or see each other differently.. to the point to where they no longer appeal to one another is just nature....
i'm not saying every marriage will be like this... but people should realize that this is natural.. people do grow apart and change from time to time
