Divorce

"I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel, "and I hate a man's covering himself with violence as well as with his garment," says the LORD Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith. Malachi 2:16.

Jesus said, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery" Matthew 19:8-9.

Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery. Luke 16:18.

To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11,27.

Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. Colossians 3:19.

I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes. 1 Timothy 2:9.
