—Mark 10:2-9
by: Dale Rood.
God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). Yet in Moses law, He allowed it. Why? Because of the hardness of peoples’ hearts. God meant for marriage to be unbreakable in this life. These days it seems like that hardness of heart is prevailing over what God has joined together staying that way. Part of the problem is that people want an easy way out of the difficulty they experience in marriage. This is not to say one should stay in a relationship where there is abuse. But it is to say that, when difficulty occurs, there are other ways than divorce to solve the problem, even if it means separation for a period of time to obtain healing.
