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?

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?

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.

which verses please

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

Marriage is a sacrifice.


One is commanded to forgive 77x7 times.

One is commmanded to love one's neighbour as oneself.

Longsuffering is a gift in the Bible.


Biblical love is not self-seeking, it keeps no record of wrongdoing, etc.


The same Bible says in the last days, Christians will be killed and beheaded just because they are followers of Christ. It has already started happening in some Northern States in Nigeria, where some Muslims would stop commuter buses, ask if one is a Muslim or Christian, then line up the Christians who don't deny Christ and start beheading them...


So people who choose to stay with their abusive partners because of their Christian conviction and these Christians above who refuse to deny Jesus Christ at the point of death are in the same boat...it is appointed for all to die once, nobody knows how, to negate the cause of dying in marriage, shine your eyes or shun marrying...Marriage is not by force oh...God help us...

A question

What about a situation where a brother marries a sister(vice versa) because the s/he faked born again only to revert after the vow. Is that not deception? No love in that marriage at all.

Take a girl who was desperate to get a surname. And after that tells the guy 'you think you have made a mistake marrying me? Sorry you are wedded in church there is no going back. That you are married is that you are married.' Then she goes ahead to deal with guy the way she likes.....true story that happened to a friend

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

honeric01:


You're getting it wrong.. What I am saying is that what you become tomorrow was partly you today. It doesn't happen instantly. A violent person didn't become violent overnight.. Check his or her past, you'd find a trait of violence..

Even in the present, he or she posses violent traits in the way they talk or act but may not show it until when they decide to be the real them.

Lastly, reason people say "he or she changed or has changed" is because most people see dating and courting as a period where you are to be at your best character rather than a place where you are to show who you are to your partner. Dating and courting is suppose to be a mock or sample marriage and not where people come to pretend to be angels.

Until we start seeing dating and courting as where the average us is expected to be manifested, the word "he has changed" won't stop.

Biblically, fornication and death.

Mat 9, 7-10

Samabu07:
Can't a Born-again forgive his/her partner? What kind of born again attitude are we creating with our creator this days?

If you are truly born-again you will learn to forgive because marriage is till death do you part. I'm 10000% sure the joy and excitement of your wedding didn't make you deaf to that line....

If you divorce, you can't get married again till your divorced partner dies otherwise you will be committing adultery with whoever that marries you. Lots of folks turn a blind eyes to that fact...

God's your strength!

Impossible in the Catholic Church. Once married remains married.
