Divorce is one of the most challenging and sensitive topics in Christian life. While the Bible clearly values marriage as a sacred covenant, it also acknowledges certain situations that can deeply strain or even break that bond. For example, Jesus addressed divorce in cases of marital unfaithfulness (Matthew 19:9), and Paul discussed separation in the context of a believer and an unbeliever (1 Corinthians 7:15). These passages raise questions about whether there are other circumstances where divorce might align with God’s will.

What do you think? How should Christians approach the complexities of divorce while striving to honor God’s design for marriage?

Divorce is done to you sometimes and the law allows it. We had 3 children together
and we definitely treated differently

Divorce is okay as a Christian if the other person cheated or if there’s sexual immorality then you become an adultery that’s the truth that’s the only acceptable way in God eyes
