A picture worth 1000 words:

Mark 9:42
[42]And whosoever shall OFFEND ONE OF THESE LITTLE ONES that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

Mark 10:4-12
[4]And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
[5]And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the HARDNESS OF YOUR HEART he wrote you this precept.
[6]But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
[7]For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
[8]And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
[9]What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
[10]And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
[11]And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
[12]And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

Mark 11:26
[26]But if ye do not forgive, NEITHER WILL YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN FORGIVE YOUR TRESPASSES.

Scripture and Real Life Both Agree

Scripturally: Fighting to maintain your covenant before God makes you happier. Why? Because integrity makes your soul feel better.

Scripturally: Divorce and remarriage is adultery adultery in God’s eyes. But its also not a very successful solution. Second and third marriages fail more often than first marriages.

Scripturally: Divorce is harmful for children, and God’s purpose for marriage is to produce Godly children.

Scripturally: Happiness is found in obedience and in keeping covenant integrity and faithfulness. In other words, happiness usually increases as you make commitments and keep them over time. Media and Entertainment tends to paint divorce as a key to happiness and freedom, but that’s a lie.

I share this not to condemn anyone’s PAST, but to encourage REPENTANCE for the past, and also to change the FUTURE for the next generation of innocent children!
