The issue has not been divorce for me. The issue has been marriage. If it is not a life giving loving relationship, it’s not marriage. If it’s not marriage, people are free to leave bad relationships and divorce.
Thank you for this essay. It provides a great example of why understanding the historical context of Biblical verses helps with our modern interpretation of them. Also, as my stepdaughter’s divorce from her malignant narcissist husband slowly grinds on, I take comfort in what you have written. It provides me with words of support and hope that I can offer her in this difficult time. Thank you so much. 🙏☮️

I like the way you look at it.
Thanks.
It has not been what circumstances can people divorce or remarriage. It’s, we don’t know what marriage is. Everything else resides around that.
