I think we, as Christians, shouldn't be so quick to throw judgement upon others. While I agree, most (but certainly not all!) divorces are due to selfish reasoning (ie: just dont want to be in a relationship anymore, found something better, tired of the stress, etc, etc), I believe some divorces are needed. God DISLIKES divorces, but its not the ONE condemning sin that will take away His grace from us. God does not have some sort of "sin-o-meter" that ranks our sins. Im not condoning divorce, but to jump/judge others due to their situation is almost in a way a sin within itself (depending to the degree it is taken to).

My friend, I was not unsure that people would take this as judgement and condemnation, as anything that has to do with righteousness it seems is condemnation and judgement. But I understand all the more that condemnation and judgement is in the very HEART of the man or woman who cannot do righteousness for their own desires.

The condemnation and judgement of a man comes out of himself. A person who knows what is good but doesn't do it, to him it is sin. This is not to neglect, as I have said the grace of God to forgive sin. But Christians most of all, even the ones who hear this should know better, and to preach anything else would be a breach.

Doesn't anyone see the obvious attack on marriages? I know I am not the only one. Will we let Satan destroy EVERYTHING sacred?? I for one will not stand by why I see my brothers and sisters being subdued this way.

So I say again, and will not fail to say it as many times as I have to. God HATES divorce. It is better that we learn to suffer for what is right than what is wrong. I would like to also put out this reminder, as I see it fit in Christ Jesus:

1 Corinthians:
1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
12 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.
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

14 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.
15 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.
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
17 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.
