THE HIEROPHANT CHRONICLE

                                    Divorce and Remarriage

“So Bob it’s been awhile, how are you doing?” “Fine other than the fact I am getting a divorce.” “Man I’m sorry to hear that!” “No worry Dan, after things settle down I will marry the woman I met a couple of years ago, everything will be better then.”
According to (Divorce Magazine .com) 49% of marriage ends in divorce. The moral effect of divorce is a silent destruction of today’s society. It has a ripple effect within the family unit especially when children are involved. Children of divorce, grow up having a lot of issues dealing with a variety of problems. Like drugs, alcohol, and low self esteem and having a feeling’s of guilt because of the divorce.
It does not matter where you stand on the issue of divorce, God hate’s divorce (Malachi  2:16) say’s “I hate divorce,” says the Lord God of Israel, “and I hate man’s covering himself with violence as well as with his garment,” say’s The Lord Almighty. God intended for marriage to be a life time commitment, not an institution of disposal, ideas. Meaning if you or some one in marriage does not fit then a divorce is had. However God knowing or sinful nature gave some laws on divorce.
(Deuteronomy 34:1) When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness’ in her then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand and send her out of his house. We can read in the scripture God hates divorce, because of our nature God gave laws to protect the women in the earlier days of history.

                                                                                         
Then we have the issue of remarriage, this is a debated around what Jesus said recorded in (Matthew 5:31-32) “It has been said, ‘anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for martial unfaithfulness, causes to her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.” 

The ‘martial unfaithfulness’ has been interpreted, to mean any form of sexual immorality. Thus Jesus saying possibly that divorce is permissible if sexual immorality is committed.
Therefore any braking of the marriage vows, by having sexual relations outside of marriage might be a permissible reason for divorce. Remarriage in some cases may be an option, though God would rather us change our hearts with reconciliation and forgiveness.
As the divorce and remarriage issue plays out in the debate arena, of today’s world, God’s word will stand for what He intended it to mean.
