The conversation in my classroom one day went something like this...
Teacher: "This is the chess set my dad used to teach me how to play chess. That is a chess set like you buy today."
Student 1: "Is that the same dad that is with your mom right now? Your real mom and dad?"
Teacher: "Yes, my parents. They have been married for 40 years."
Student 2: "They didnt get divorce? I thought you were supposed to get divorced after a couple of years."
Yes, both of these students were completely serious. None of the other students inducated they disagreed with the statements made by the first two. Do you understand what happen? Six students, ages 12-13, find it uncommon for a couple to be married for 40 years and believe marriages are supposed to end in divorce on a regular basis.
Why is this such a big deal? Consider the following ideas.
First, divorce and remarriage are so common in our world today that many do not realize Fod's plan. In Genesis 2:24, God instituted marriage with these words, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh" when Jesus taught during His earthly ministry, He repeated this statement to the Pharises when they questioned Him about divorce. Matthew 19:9 "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery." God stipulates sexual immorality as the only reason for divirce and remarriage. However, Mark 10:1-12 shows that divorxe is not God's plan, no matter who begins the process. God's plan for marriage is one man, for one woman, for life!.
Reason for Divorce nowadays
** Infidelity
** Lack of money
** Lack of communication
** Constant arguement
** Lack of intimacy
** Lack of equality
** Forceful marriage
** Abuse in marriage
** Extra marital affairs
** Intrusive parents
** Privacy problem
