Divorce And Separation Is Not The Will of God

Divorce And Separation 

""...What therefore God has joined together ,let not man put asunder ." Matthew 19:6 

This is one of the topics that so many cannot discern the will of God for . God designed marriage to last forever till death separate the two . However, because of human failure to adhere to marriage principles the consequence is either separation or divorce .Nowadays ,people think they can easily divorce when things get out of control .So the Jews in Bible days asked Jesus " ...Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause ? " Matthew 19:3 

There are so many reasons and causes of divorce or separation .But the only reason Jesus gave as an acceptable and justifiable one to bring divorce is when the wife is committing adultery ; sleeping with another man besides her husband ." And I say unto you ,whosoever shall put away his wife ,except it be for 

fornication ,and shall marry another ,committeth adultery ,whosoever  marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery ." Matthew 19:9

Fornication is the only cause of divorce permitted by our Lord Jesus Christ .That is why it is very important that the married woman would stay so pure by her husband ,because any sexual relationship outside marriage is a route to divorce ." Marriage is honourable in all ,and the bed undefiled : but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge ." Hebrews 13: 4 Not only will adultery bring divorce ,it also brings the judgment of God and the punishment thereof .

Nowadays ,people divorce not only on the bases of adultery ,but also for the hardness of heart .There are a lot of people divorcing because of their heart ,that is unloving heart .The stubborn type that is  not considerate enough to overlook human weakness and cannot withstand times of crises .Like in the days of Moses , the law permitted divorce because ,the people had hardened heart that could not tolerate each other in marriage .

" They say unto him ,(Jesus) why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement ,and to put her away : He saith unto them ,Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives ; but from the beginning it was not so." Matthew 19:7-8 God originally joined the man and his wife together forever ,the purpose was that there should be no divorce ,separation nor putting away .But when their heart were hardened against the will of God ,He now permitted human beings to divorce by a written letter to the woman to the woman's family and this letter was called " Letter of divorcement."

"...The Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth ,against whom thou hast dealt treacherously : yet is she thy companion and the wife of thy youth ,And did not he make one ? Yet had he the residue of the spirit .Wherefore one ? that he might seek a godly seed .Therefore take heed to your spirit ,and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth .For the Lord ,the God of Isreal ,saith that he hateth putting away (divorce)..." Malachi 2:14-17 

The truth is that God who is the only bonafide witness of the union of male and female as married couples from the beginning , forever says in his word that he "hates divorce " .God's plan for marriage is to make the woman a companion forever to the man. Your wife must be your best friend as married man ,likewise the woman who is married ,your husband must be your best friend, so that there should be no divorce .
