And you are also correct that, at times, the church has stigmatized those who have been hurt through divorce, even when it was of no fault of their own. Divorce occurs for many reasons and, as Christians, it should be our goal not to judge but rather to show forth the love of God to those who are suffering the painful affects of divorce. <br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting.

I...I assure you that nothing is easy about divorce. It hasn’t been made easy. It has however, given way to those in relationships where abuse and infidelity are intolerable. Men and women can now walk away from those things without the church condemning the one walking away. I’m thankful for that.Millyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08676326805474564427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074106.post-23039954913417715102009-11-30T21:35:59.057-05:002009-11-30T21:35:59.057-05:00I agree.

Instead of encuraging people to work together to work out their problems, we encourage them to end their marriage and move on. If, as a society, we placed more value on marriage and helped and supported those strugleing in their marriage, then we might see a decrease in the divorce rate.David R Robisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07059255653960179337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074106.post-63463826534008902872009-11-30T21:27:44.211-05:002009-11-30T21:27:44.211-05:00The Bible certainly has provisions for divorce but...The Bible certainly has provisions for divorce but it seems sometimes that we have taken it too far. Maybe we could put the brakes on our high divorce rate if our society placed more value on the sacrament of marriage and on working it out rather than opting for a divorce. I tend to focus on Jesus concluding statement, "from the beginning, it has not been this way."Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00220466657069134457noreply@blogger.com
