When is divorce OK?

Ok know I'm gonna open a can on this one but what are the conditions within a marriage that allows for a certificate of divorce besides Adultery?

I believe divorce is OK but the bible says "when there is a hardness of heart" and if your heart is hard then something is not right with God because if your heart is hard God is not working on it. If God is working on your heart then he will soften it and begin to do a work in your heart and your marriage and there forth divorce would not be an option.; ▶ Reply to This

But if you are going through a situtation like this or know of somebody, then it's time to get to the pastor for some counseling, before it is to late.

This is the best advise that you could receive.

Remember, there is saftey in the midst of counselors!

divorce: it is always the worst and wrong decision at a price, it should always be the last and last and last choice to make. if we still claim to be a disciple of Jesus, then we should never be the first to choose to divorce. but if you HAVE TO, beg God for mercy.; ▶ Reply to This
