"He said to them, 'Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so." v.8
Read chapter 19.
Oh I hade divorce! I'm not sure what the statistic is today but I know it's more than 50% of marriages end in divorce. I always wonder why people get married if they're not even Christians. Commitment I guess. Sad truth is Christian marriages still have same divorce rates as non. So what does God think about divorce today? This verse that talks of Moses giving permission of divorce is from Deuteronomy 24 and was only permitted for sexual immorality not just cuz.... Moses gave a "loophole" and most people would rather take the loophole or compromise than to carry out the command "Love never fails." I know there are other reasons people get divorced- abuse physically and emotionally being a huge one. We don't have the law of Moses today so while we're not under or held to it there are many things that God hates both what happens in a marriage and out. Being faithful to God in other commands will guide His will regarding divorce to your specific situation. How does divorce affect you?
