When the Pharisees asked
Jesus about divorce, He took them back to “the beginning”, showing them that
God’s plan was one man with one woman becoming one flesh for life. He concluded
His statement with, “Therefore what God has joined together, let not man
separate” (Matthew 19:6).
The devastation that
no-fault divorce has brought on society cannot be estimated. The heart-breaking
consequences of a marriage break-down, particularly on children, cannot be
exaggerated.
But as you go back to
Genesis you find that God has not only joined husbands and wives. There are
other things He puts together that are not to be separated.
