Divorce...Is it the Answer?

Marriage is one of the two sacred institutions given to man at creation. It was designed to bring love, joy and harmony into the lives of those so joined. It is very sad that in today's world, marriages are falling apart left, right and center. Persons no longer regard marriage as a bond that should never be broken and so it has become all too easy to put an end to marriages which seem difficult and burdensome.

The big question that is asked is: How much is too much? When should a spouse decide that enough is enough? Some suggest that when a wife burns the egg and appears to lack what it takes to make her a good cook, that is just too much for any well thinking male to deal with and a divorce is in perfect order. Others suggest that if a man is churlish enough to raise his voice while in a dispute with his wife, that would be surely too much for her to deal with. Again, a divorce would be the perfect answer.

It is no surprise then, that marriages are taking a downward spiral. Counselling in many cases is of no avail as couples are no longer interested in trying to work out their differences. The Bible is clear on the basis for divorce. According to Jesus, the bill of divorcement should only be given in cases of fornication, and interestingly this results only because of the hardness of one's heart.

Divorce....Is it the answer? I think not.

So... what is the answer?
