Under What Conditions Should A Christian (born Again) Divorce? by OasisofRefuge(f): 1:22am On Nov 23, 2014
Based on the bible, once you are married, there's no going back. except when there's a case of adultery or death.

Today, people have minor differences and still divorce.
As a child of God, is it acceptable to divorce under any condition apart from adultery?

Can a Christian get married, and probably after realising the spouse is not good enough or not up to what he/she desires and ask for a divorce, and then remarries. Either this or remain in the marriage unhappy for ever.

Can a Christian ask for divorce when there's domestic violence or stay in the marriage till the end of time?

Please share with us based on God's word. Is there any reason why a child of God should divorce apart from adultery?

Use your instinct. Quit when you are fed up. Marriage is designed to be enjoyed and not endured.

Better to be single than to divorce. Marriage of course is a requisite for divorce. The absolute truth in christendom is never to divorce once married except you are a joker: no acceptable excuse to break up after marriage not even the popularly quoted-out-of-cotext case of adultery.

Ok, lemme give u the condition as stated out by a Rev. Father in a wedding i once attended in kaduna.
The Rev. Father said, yes, u can divorce but with this condition. That u will gather thesame exact crowd that witnessed the wedding (nobody should be absent) seated before thesame priest who joined the couple. Then the divorce procedures can commence.

Twisting the bible again. Biblically nothing like till.death do you part those are roman vows.
The reason God said " I hate divorce" was because the men of Israel had hard hearts and would marry and divorce their wives on flimsy grounds. Hence Jesus gave conditions for divorce just to moderate it.

There is room and grounds for divorce is the bible and no divorce is not a sin.
Do we not all have one Father[b]? Did not one God create us? Why do we profane the covenant of our ancestors by being unfaithful to one another?

Malachi 2 from verse 11

11 Judah has been unfaithful. A detestable thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem: Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the Lord loves by marrying women who worship a foreign god. 12 As for the man who does this, whoever he may be, may the Lord remove him from the tents of Jacob[c]—even though he brings an offering to the Lord Almighty.

13 Another thing you do: You flood the Lord’s altar with tears. You weep and wail because he no longer looks with favor on your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands. 14 You ask, “Why?” It is because the Lord is the witness between you and the wife of your youth. You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.

15 Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit. And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring.[d] So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth.

16 “The man who hates and divorces his wife,” says the Lord, the God of Israel, “does violence to the one he should protect,”[e] says the Lord Almighty.

So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful.

The Bible I realise has really beem twisted over the years
God was more concerned about adulterous men than the act of divorce itself but over the years the same adulterous men have de emphasised the adultery part and blackmailed women into staying in misery with adulterous men.

God spoke 5 chapters condemning adultery and unfaithfulness yet they never preach that. Hence people read the bible for yourselves

Why should you divorce since you have agreed to for better for worse? Tho divorce is the trend now but you have to sort things out especially if you have kids. Didnt you court? That ll be my 1st question as a lawyer.

There are two type of divorce; formal and informal divorce. Its so disheartning that #divorce seem to be the trend now even among the so called tongue talkin Christian, who claim to fear God, we definitely have missed some steps in the original original marriage set up instituted by God due to globalisation and several other influences. Whether there will be divorce in a marriage is dependent on the knowledge, understanding or the coupe moreso, the foundation of the relationship. Divorce is the common trend as going po marriage without needed understanding as I said earlier, marriage involve a man a woman, so in each knows their role and do it appropriately there won't be unnecessary rivalry and if they both do really love each other no minor issues can separate them. I have seen all shorts of conflicts in marriage that even as a pastor you it will be the difficult for anyone to tell the victim of the issue to remain in the marriage, whoever is in such case you will discover a dysfunction in the foundation, insincererity, lies and so much more. Its simply a sensitive case only if considered broadly. We are in dear need to curb divorce in our society, we must first address the root course of divorce which most times it the foundation of the relationship, the bible said if the foundation be faulty what can the righteous do, I am not say those who started well do all end well in marriage. The foundation I am talking about is when marriage (love) in based on benefits alone without responsibilities, dysfunctional home or divorce is imminent, some even lie to have marry someone, imagine a bishop wife who has an issue and refuse to disclose to her husband before and after marriage.

90% of christian marriages are shameful in the sight of God. A big disgrace.

God is never present in almost all weddings conducted in churches these days.

Reasons are double standard by the pastors. Instead of preaching abstinence they encouraged a fornicationalized relationship and joining them together in marriage.

Most of the ladies getting married are either 3 weeks, 1 month, or 4 months pregnants. Having the odacity to stand before a holy God is pure nonsense.

If God was their to bless them at all, he would have used a big thunder to strike these couples.

Lets stop deceiving ourselves all in the name of marriage. Divorce is rampant these days in christedom even the so called pastoprenuer are not left out.

Divorce will continue. Let people keep deceiving themselves. God does not attend saturday wedding these days. Quote me anywhere.

He hates adultery, he hates fornication, he hates murder ''abortion''.

Tell me most of these couples dont do this. Even the week of their wedding they still display this fornicating traits going round to sleep with the so called love of their lives for the last time before saying i do.

The world system has entered the church and its a big shame. Divorce will never stop after all when a man is impotent they woman will pack her property and run, later divorce follow.

When a woman cannot conceive, the man sends her away to get another woman.

Are these ones christians? They are all eye sores in the sight of God.

Infidelity. Without having to alterate the guidelines of the bible to suit our present day "good reasons" for divorce, a fully established case of unfaithfulness or adultery is the only reason.

Why d hell do people marry In d first place with all dis surrounding it

Few of the Disadvantages of Marriage

>Fidelity is not a natural state for human beings, especially when they are young adults and their sex drive is at its strongest. Most married sex lives fade over time, which can lead to affairs and other forms of infidelity, such as the use of prostitutes, even in the most well-intentioned people.

>Many couples get stuck in a rut, repeating the same arguments over and over. The key differences in their personalities never go away. Petty problems, irritating habits, become magnified over time.

>Marriage restricts the freedom of individual. Single people can happily live their lives pretty much as they please without having to be concerned with the needs or wishes of others.

>Marriage means that couples have to deal with their partner’s family, which can be a source of problems and conflict.

>Getting married can add lots of extra bureaucracy and red tape to a relationship, especially when the wife changes her name and official documents such as social security, driving licenses have to be changed.

“Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for
fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and
whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit
adultery” ( Matthew 19:9; see also Matthew 5:31, 32).

Under no condition except if you catch your spouse with another man/woman. However, this can be addressed if there is sincere repentance. Remember God hates divorce with perfect hatred. The only way devil succeed is to see that he destroys the family. The devil's agenda is to kill steal and destroy
