Jesus hates divorce. He will not tell you to divorce. Same as He will not tell you to commit murder. Marriage is between one man and one woman for life. Anything else is sin. Fornication which is having relations with another before marriage. And if a spouse who isn't a Christian leaves. Is the only 2 exceptions. Fornication was before marriage, where the bride was found out not to be a virgin after they got married. Such as Joseph thought with Mary before the angel explained everything to him. If we are living as God's Word commands us, the vast majority will continue to live with their spouse even though they aren't a Christian. Because we are loving and serving them as Jesus does us. Reconciliation should always be the goal if any way possible. Above all be careful who you marry because Jesus explained this to the disciples in Matthew 19, they then said its better to not marry in this case. Marriage is very serious.
Matthew 19:9 KJV
[9] And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
Malachi 2:14-16 KJV
[14] Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. [15] And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. [16] For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
