What does the Bible say about divorce and remarriage?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that Christians should not divorce, as marriage vows are sacred and intended to be a lifelong commitment.

The Scriptures, particularly in 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, command that a wife should not depart from her husband, and if she does, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. Similarly, a husband should not put away his wife. This underscores the seriousness of marriage vows made before God. Believers should view divorce not as an accepted practice but as a failure to uphold God's intended sanctity of marriage. The belief that God and the gospel can sustain a marriage through trials is crucial; a divorce sends a powerful message that faith is insufficient in the face of personal desires.
