Is It Ever Okay To Get A Divorce?
Can Believers Remarry After A Divorce?
Why does God hate divorce?
Answer: Malachi 2:16 is the oft-quoted passage that tells how God feels about divorce. "'I hate divorce,' says the Lord God of Israel." But this passage says much more than that. If we back up to verse 13, we read, "You cover the Lord’s altar with tears, with weeping and groaning because he no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor from your hand. But you say, 'Why does he not?' Because the Lord was witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant. Did he not make them one, with a portion of the Spirit in their union? And what was the one God seeking? Godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and let none of you be faithless to the wife of your youth."
