This divine union is meant to reflect the relationship between Christ and His Church—one of love, commitment, and faithfulness. Jesus Himself taught that "what God has joined together, let no man separate" (Matthew 19:6), underscoring the permanence of the marital bond.
Divorce, while allowed under certain circumstances such as marital unfaithfulness (Matthew 19:9), was never God's ideal. It was permitted due to the hardness of human hearts, but even then, it is not the Lord's preference.
God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16) because it causes pain, division, and brokenness, and it undermines His design for marriage. In His eyes, the commitment made in marriage should be steadfast and unbreakable, a picture of His unwavering love for His people.
Divorce is not an option and should not be seen as an easy escape or a viable solution to marital struggles. Instead, God calls us to pursue reconciliation, healing, and restoration. He offers grace for the hurting and strength for the weary.
Through prayer, forgiveness, and a renewed commitment to one another, couples can experience God’s transformative power in their marriage. Divorce is not an option when we trust in God’s plan and seek His help to honor the covenant we’ve made.
