I have to say that divorce is never easy to a believer. My divorce was very hard. I do agree that in the Bible I found only one reason that a believer should divorce and that is for unfaithfulness. That was the reason for my divorce. But I tried for 7 years to work it out. I had a child by him and we were raising a child of his by a girl that we did not even know he had until she was a year old. The child was a product of his unfaithfulness. I tried so hard to make it work. I am the only one in my family that is divorced. But I do not think it is an issue of it is to easy it is an issue that couples DO NOT stand on God's word. They enter a marriage with the thought if it does not workout we can just divorce. That is not what God wants us to do. When you enter a marriage it is suppose to be for life. Today people just do not care that God made marriage for a man and a woman to share and grow together in his word. Yes, it is true that times are different now but God's word is still the same. My ex-husband and I were not the same. He has made the choice to live an un-Godly life, and I could not stay with him and let my children think that is what God would want. Yes, I had a responsibility to my husband but I also had a responsibility to my kids to teach them that what he was doing was wrong. My child by my husband and my child by his unfaithfulness both know that marriage is a great thing and that it has to be worked on hard and that cheating hurts everyone in the family. I got both children now and my ex-husband is still messing around but we pray for him.

Legally, divorce is too easy. Emotionally, physically and spirtually divorce is very hard. I have never even been married, however my sister is going through a divorce due to infedelity as we speak. So I am seeing first hand the toll it is taking on her and my nephew.

I am now among the ranks of the divorced. I was married for 34 years and I thought that we had weathered the worst of times early on in the marriage only to find out that my ex husbands cheating never did stop. He took it upon himself to file for divorce on Friday afternoon, move out on Saturday, move in with his new lover on Sunday and then have the papers served to me on Monday. Is it too easy..yes in some cases it is. I decided against the fight because of our past history. I know that Jesus says to forgive 70 times 7, however, I am human and decided that it was time to cease the fight. I realize that it takes two people to make a marriage and but it only takes one person to break the marriage by walking out. I have taken ownership to the part I played in the breakdown and I am working with a Christian councelor to aid in my healing. I know that God has forgiven me since I asked for His forgiveness and I am now trying to put my back together again and I am keeping my priorities in order this time.

The question is based on our current culture. The responces are also related to our changing culture. What God has to say on the subject remains constant. The life of living divorced isn't an easy choice, nor does Jesus make it such. Jesus made a few adjustments concerning the subject. In the law Moses allowed for it Deut 24:1-4,Mark 10:2-9,Matt 5:31,32. It is true that God still allows for divorce today, even though He hates divorce. But Jesus addresses a greater issue; that is remarriage after divorce. This always seemed to be the topic He addressed when addressing divorce. It puts a heavier weight on the divorce decision. Jesus's audience were the children of Abraham/David, both of which had more that one wife. God affirms David's multiple wives when He sent Nathan the prophet to judge David for his sin with Bathsheba. He stated that God gave him the wives of his enemies... and if it weren't enough He would have given him more... I only bring this up, not because I'm into multiple wives, but because this was the New Testament audience. That is why Paul told Timothy that the Elder/Deacon office could only have one wife; like the high priest of the old testament could only have one wife. My point should be obvious, and that is that the law for the man is different for the woman. Women were never allowed more than one husband at one time in the Old Testament, men were. Because of this consideration the genders were always addressed seperatily, and Jesus always addressed both genders. If we try and make the scriptures non-gender specific they don't make since. You will find that The scripture only allows the man to remarry after divorce for one reason; in the case of fornication Matt 19:9. Thus is consistant in allowing man multiple wives. The scripture never allows an unwidowed woman to remarry after divorce. I personally wish this wasn't the case, because of my personal interest in a certain wonderful divorced woman that was seriously abused by her ex. Romans 7:2,3, "For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man." Jesus says, "...whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery." Matt. 5:32; "... and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery." Matt19:9; Mark 10:11,12; Luke 16:18; 1 Cor. 7:11. The scripture is clear. Jesus made it clear. We can manupliate scripture to say what we want it to say, but if we are honest with ourselves we will have to except the hard word. The nature of God isn't how comfortable or happy we can live in this life, it's what we are willing to give up to bring Him Glory and place our treasures in heaven. Mark 10:29,30, "So Jesus answered and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house of brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel's, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time--houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions--and in the age to come, eternal life.'" Just prior to Paul saying that all things are lawful for him, he states that whose who commit adultery shall not inherit the kingdom of God, 1 Cor 6:9;13. It's one thing to ask forgiveness and be sorrowful, it's another thing to repent, that is to turn away from the sin. If you are in an adulterous relationship, please seek the Lord over the matter, Thanks
