Why does God hate divorce? Because it goes against His will. Because you allow your heart to be unguarded and thus unfaithful. Because the defiled union between a man and a woman doesn’t produce Godly children. And most importantly, because it is cruel to purposely hurt a faithful partner. What kind of example are you setting if you proclaim Jesus to be your Lord, and yet you seek out your selfish pursuits and fail to remain loyal to the promise of your marriage? Marriage is sacred. We should treat it as such. We fight for what we believe in. We should, in all circumstances, protect the one institution God created to further His kingdom, even if that means death to self.
15 Didn’t the Lord make you one with your wife? In body and spirit you are His. And what does He want? Godly children from your union. So guard your heart; remain loyal to the wife of your youth. 16 “For I hate divorce!” says the Lord, the God of Israel. “To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. “So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your wife.”
Malachi 2:15-16
