Does God Believe in Divorce

Birth, youth, friendships, love, life, marriage; parenthood and growing old with the love of your life; this is how most of us thought our life would progress when we were children. No one sets out to be a divorced person. In today's society, with a divorce rate of almost 50%, more and more couples strive to be the exception to the rule. Young people are putting off getting married at an early age and are seeking the marriages of past; those that last a life time. But, what do we know about those marriages, were they happy or were they just two people who felt trapped by circumstances, religious beliefs, or a wife's economical status.

1 Corinthians, Chapter 13 describes a child's love. A baby loves their parents for no other reason than they are mommy and daddy. A toddler's innocence keeps them from being envious, boastful or proud. A pre-school aged child is not easily angered and does not keep track of when mommy and daddy do something wrong. A school aged child rejoices in the truth and will hide the evil. A teenage, usually will want to protect the family reputation, and hope that things in life will be better and will want to preserve their childhood dreams and innocence.

Clearly and repeatedly the Bible warns us of people we are to stay away from and encourages us to not partner with them. And because we are only human we are allowed to divorce. Would God prefer that there were no divorces; I am sure that he would, but I am just as certain that he would also like to see all of his children living through his laws and if that were the case there would be a lot fewer divorces.
