Bible Answer: Jesus tells us that it is unrighteous to divorce our spouse for just any reason, but that it is permissable to divorce for immorality (adultery KJV). See Mathew Chapter 19, verses 3-9. God also tells us that He "hates divorce" [Malachi 2:16]. Read the whole of Malachi chapter 2 for context. Divorce is never a good thing (I am sure you know this), but it can become the only option. Even God divorces his wife. Read Jeremiah Chapter 3, verse 8 to see this in context. God is explaining that He was left with no option because of the repeated immorality of His wife. If you speak the truth, your transgression is neither sin nor impardonable. It seems as though you did the right thing. |
