Divorce
Mark 10
 |
| I pray blessings on you as you read. |
(v. 7-9) " 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man no separate.' " (v. 11-12) "He answered, 'Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.' "
My Thoughts
Divorce is a very tough subject and it is never pleasant. When there are children caught in the middle, divorce is even worse.It causes a lot of stress for the kids and some even blame themselves for their parents' splitting. Even friends and family feel it. So if anyone thinks it only affects the couple, they would be wrong.
God is not happy with divorce. Marriage is supposed to be a sacred, special thing that joins two people into one. This joining is not only relationship wise, but also by blood when there are children and spiritually. It is a sacred bond, which is why God frowns upon divorce. Not only that but the people involved, especially the children, end up hurt most of the time.
Marriage is not something that should be done on a whim, but is should be able to last forever. If a relationship between two people is not strong, there is no way that marriage should be considered. Either it will end in divorce or both people will be living a lie and trying to force something to work that just isn't going to. Remember the 'until death do you part...' part. That is a vow, right?
In my opinion, divorce should only be considered in situations that make the marriage twisted. For example, when there is adultery involved or other kinds of betrayal. Even then, couples have fixed their marriages after those kinds of situations and renewed their love for one another. So even in that kind of situation, divorce should be a final decision, but steps should be taken to try to fix things.
If it is an abusive relationship, then I do think divorce should be considered, especially if it is extreme. I don't believe that God would want someone to stay in an abusive relationship just because they got married to that person. Obviously this situation is pretty extreme, and depending on how bad the abuse is, divorce may not actually be an option and running away is the only thing that can be done.
If there is any negativity in your marriage, then please think about trying to fix it before anything else. Seek out help if needed, and pray. Do not leave God out of any of this.
