A follow up to a question from my Facebook...
The same Hebrew word for Divorce is used for the word separate. In Romans we can see that nothing will separate us from the love of Christ. It should be just as impossible for a marriage built on Christ's foundation to separate.
Mt 19:6 "Consequently they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."
In Mathew 5, Christ put out one exception to his command on divorce and that is adultery.
The word adultery (or Marital unfaithfulness, as Christ puts it) means the breaking or separating of a physical bond. If we are to give ourselves to our spouses in heart, mind and soul, how that physical breaking takes place can take many forms.
If our Marriage is built on Christ then we will avoid that exception whatever the form.
