Divorce And Adultery

Sadly, we live in a society in which marriage is viewed as little more than a meaningless contract that can be easily broken.  We read of as many divorces as we do marriages.  This is not the way God intended for this marriage bond to be treated.  Jesus said, in reference to the marriage bond, "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."  Matthew 19:6.  He also spoke these words:

'"And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and who so marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."  Matthew 19:9.

Man has not the right to break this sacred bond of marriage.  Only in the case of fornication (i.e., marital unfaithfulness), or death of one's spouse (Romans 7:2-3), can a person be free to scripturally remarry.  Jesus tells us that one who puts away his wife for any other reason and marries another, commits adultery.

God meant for the marriage bond to be for a lifetime.  Sex outside of this sacred union (which constitutes adultery and fornication), is an abomination to Him.  God is the creator of the institution of marriage, and He alone has the right to make the rules!  "What God has joined together, let not man put asunder..."
