Divorce is a complex and often painful journey that many couples find themselves on, and it’s a topic that stirs both emotions and opinions.
.
The ideal that has been taught over the ages is to stay married until death parts you.
.
A strong commitment to marriage is something to be celebrated, and we all wish for every couple to find happiness together, just like Mercy and I have.
.
But let’s face the truth:
.
Divorces have happened throughout history for a variety of reasons.
.
It’s a sobering thought that we often seek forgiveness for our own mistakes but can be quick to judge others for their different struggles.
.
In the Bible, we find that Moses permitted divorce because of the hardness of hearts, often linked to abuse in a marriage.
.
Jesus spoke of the ideal, emphasizing God’s high standard for marriage, but He did not disregard the Law of Moses.
.
Here’s the hard reality: sometimes, it’s better to end a marriage than to endure an abusive one.
.
Nobody should have to suffer in silence.
.
It’s also a fact that over 95% of people who divorce find it challenging to live without the intimate companionship of a partner.
.
In such cases, it’s better for them to consider remarriage rather than engaging in casual relationships.
.
If you have different advice for those who have gone through divorce, express it with kindness and humility.
.
Remember that your own successful marriage is a gift of God’s grace.
.
In the end, let’s offer compassion and understanding to those who have walked the difficult path of divorce.
.
Life is not always black and white, and every individual’s journey is unique.
.
Let love and empathy guide our words and actions. 💕
