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).
