Why is divorce viewed negatively in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Divorce is a result of human hardness of heart and not God's original design.

Divorce is viewed negatively in Christianity because it contradicts the intended permanence of marriage. It stems from the hardness of men's hearts, leading them to seek separation when they grow weary of one another. The allowance of divorce under Moses' law was a concession due to this hardness, not God's ideal. Therefore, Christians are called to reject worldly justifications for divorce and strive for marital faithfulness, reflecting Christ's unwavering commitment to His Church.
