Hy everyone,rilly need you to go through this write up and drop your comments by sharing your point of view about DIVORCE..
INTRODUCTION: divorce is one of the major problems facing homes today.Divorce is granted to the unbelievers for many reasons such as adultery,cruelty, desertion,drunkness,neglect to provide,conviction of crime, separation, bigamy, incompatibility etc.However,is divorce permissible for Christians? Let's us approach this lesson by answering some number of questions
1.SOME COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
I. Is there any scriptural reference that backs up divorce?
ANSWER: There is only one reason and that is fornication(Matthew 19:9). What does the word fornication mean? The simple meaning is sexual relationship with a third party.However,the innocent partner should be ready to forgive the guilty partner.Divorce was not God original plan for human beings.
ii.How long is a marriage contract?
The answer is simply until death comes visiting your partner(Matthew 19:6). In marriage,God is permitted to break that union by taking one of the partners in death.

Might not be in the right position to give counsel about marriages because have not tasted what marriage is.but will just say what I feel is the right counsel and will implore others to also comment what they feel is the appropriate counsel for divorced marriages and couples yet to divorce
COUNSEL FOR PARTNERS IN SHAKY MARRIAGE
Let both husband and wives solemly renew their vow "for better or for waorse till death do us part". Let each get right with the lord and then with one another.confession and repentance with mutual sharing would make any marriage a success.let them spend time in prayer individually and as a couple (james5:16).Let the husband be the actual head of the home and not merely a figure head.Let the wives be subject to their husbands (epheaians5:24).Let husbands and wives continually woo each other because each needs a great deal of affection.Married couples should continuously ask God for a holy love for each ogher.
IN CONCLUSION to this wonderful write up..cab there be love when there is no respect? The answer is YES,for God loves the unlovely sinner,whom he cannot respect.Love that is unselfish and godly can be deep and powerful even with those whom we cannot resoect. With such a love,our marriages would last for life(1peter 4:8).let us pray for such divine love.
