                                               It hath been said, Whosoever shall 
                                              put away his wife, let him give 
                                              her a writing of divorcement: But 
                                              I say unto you, That whosoever 
                                              shall put away his wife, saving 
                                              for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: 
                                              and whosoever shall marry her that 
                                              is divorced committeth adultery. (Matthew 5:31,32)

                          |  And the Pharisees came to 
                                              him, and asked him, Is it lawful 
                                              for a man to put away his wife? 
                                              tempting him.
                                              And he answered and said 
                                              unto them, What did Moses command 
                                              you? And 
                                              they said, Moses suffered to write 
                                              a bill of divorcement, and to put 
                                              her away.
                                              And Jesus answered and said 
                                              unto them, For the hardness of 
                                              your heart he wrote you this 
                                              precept. 
                                              But from the beginning of the 
                                              creation God made them male and 
                                              female. 
                                              For this cause shall a man leave 
                                              his father and mother, and cleave 
                                              to his wife; And they twain shall 
                                              be one flesh: so then they are no 
                                              more twain, but one flesh.
                                              What therefore God hath 
                                              joined together, let not man put 
                                              asunder. 
                                              And in the house his disciples 
                                              asked him again of the same 
                                              matter. 
                                              And he saith unto them, Whosoever 
                                              shall put away his wife, and marry 
                                              another, committeth adultery 
                                              against her.
                                              And if a woman shall put 
                                              away her husband, and be married 
                                              to another, she committeth 
                                              adultery. (Mark 
                                              10:2-12)

                          |  And unto the married I 
                                              command, yet not I, but the Lord, 
                                              Let not the wife depart from her 
                                              husband: But and if she depart, 
                                              let her remain unmarried, or be 
                                              reconciled to her husband: and let 
                                              not the husband put away his wife.
                                              But to the rest speak I, 
                                              not the Lord: If any brother hath 
                                              a wife that believeth not, and she 
                                              be pleased to dwell with him, let 
                                              him not put her away.
                                              And the woman which hath an 
                                              husband that believeth not, and if 
                                              he be pleased to dwell with her, 
                                              let her not leave him.
                                              For the unbelieving husband 
                                              is sanctified by the wife, and the 
                                              unbelieving wife is sanctified by 
                                              the husband: else were your 
                                              children unclean; but now are they 
                                              holy. 
                                              But if the unbelieving depart,, 
                                              let him depart. A brother or a 
                                              sister is not under bondage in 
                                              such cases: but God hath called us 
                                              to peace.
                                              For what knowest thou, 0 
                                              wife, whether thou shalt save thy 
                                              husband? or how knowest thou, 0 
                                              man, whether thou shalt save thy 
                                              wife? 
                                              But as God hath distributed to 
                                              every man, as the Lord hath called 
                                              every one, so let him walk. And so 
                                              ordain I in all churches. (1

                                              separation is that a legal

                                              have always been faithful. "Why has God abandoned us?" 
                                              you cry. I'll tell you why; it is 
                                              because the Lord has seen your 
                                              treachery in divorcing your wives 
                                              who have been faithful to you 
                                              through the years, the companions 
                                              you promised to care for and keep. 
                                              You were united to your wife by 
                                              the Lord. In God's wise plan, when 
                                              you married, the two of you became 
                                              one person in His sight. And what 
                                              does He want? Godly children from 
                                              your union. Therefore guard your 
                                              passions! Keep faith with the wife 
                                              of your youth. For the Lord, the

                                              divorce and cruel men. Therefore 
                                              control your passions—let there be 
                                              no divorcing of your wives."

                                              married I have a command, not just

                                              command from me, for this is what 
                                              the Lord Himself has said: A wife 
                                              must not leave her husband. But if 
                                              she is separated from him, let her

                                              him. And the husband must not 
                                              divorce his wife."

  Being 
                                              married to an unbelieving mate is 
                                              not an acceptable reason for 
                                              divorce. "If a Christian has a wife 
                                              who is not a Christian, but she 
                                              wants to stay with him anyway, he 
                                              must not leave her or divorce her. 
                                              And if a Christian woman has a 
                                              husband who isn't a Christian, and 
                                              he wants her to stay with him, she 
                                              must not leave him. For perhaps 
                                              the husband who isn't a Christian 
                                              may become a Christian with the 
                                              help of his Christian wife. And 
                                              the wife who isn't a Christian may 
                                              become a Christian with the help

                                              separates, the children might 
                                              never come to know the Lord; 
                                              whereas a united family may, in
