How do we know divorce does not dissolve the marriage bond?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture consistently affirms that the marriage bond remains until death, even in the case of divorce.

In Romans 7:2-3, Paul clearly states that a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. This highlights that the marriage bond lasts until the death of one spouse, with no other circumstances providing a legitimate grounds for dissolution. Additionally, Matthew 19:6 reinforces this: 'What God has joined together, let no one separate.' Therefore, while divorce may occur due to sin, it does not free someone from their marital obligations in God's eyes, which is fundamental to understanding the sanctity of the marital covenant.
