What Does The Bible Say About Divorce? When Is It Allowed? by ValourDigest(m): 4:01pm On Oct 07, 2019
Too many couples today decide that if their marriage isn’t working, they should get out. But the Scriptures point to a God who can bring healing.
In our culture today many see divorce as a positive solution to a troubled marriage. But Harvard sociologist Armand Nicholi III concluded, “Divorce is not a solution, but an exchange of problems.”

In a more personal way, novelist Pat Conroy said of his own marriage break-up, “Each divorce is the death of a small civilization.”

One woman wrote after her divorce, “Our divorce has been the most painful, horrid, ulcer producing, agonizing event you can imagine. … I wish I…………………..

Matt 19:9
And I say unto you, 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.
This is the only ground given in the Bible.
Suppose John marries Betty and John after few years begin to feel Betty is no longer his "kind of lady, not shapely, is annoying, nags too much etc etc" I'm leaving her! God forbids it! If he does, he then commits adultery. And his new partner is a fornicator. But if he remains unmarried then no cause for alarm. But God hates divorce, therefore they should reconcile. Then if his wife decides to go on with her life she's free to marry as she's the offended party. And vice versa. But in the case of fear of being harmed or killed a couple can separate until peace can be sort!
Brothers and sisters God instituted marriage so NO ONE can or should adjust or Amend it's natural God given law...else face the consequences...

I don't understand the aspect where you said if the husband or wife feels offended, they're free to marry. Please explain.

I mean if they begin to feel offended with each other or quarrel that doesn't guarantee that divorce will be accepted by God's word.
The only person free to remarry is the offended party....that is the person who was hurt by the infidelity....so if John commits adultery his wife can remarry while by God's word he cannot!
But the plea is that his wife should forgive and they both try to repair the damage.
