According to Wikipedia, divorce means the legal dissolution of a marriage, it is the termination of a marital union, the cancelling and/or reorganising of the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage, thus dissolving the bonds of matrimony between a married couple under the rule of law of the particular country. Chia!!! na who send them all this message, instead of thinking of how to build up they are busy cancelling, terminating and dissolving. Hmmn, there is God o... Jokes apart, this is a very serious issue. The divorce rate in the world increases every single day, it is now the order of the day. Couples can not bear and forgive each other anymore, they think the solution to misunderstanding in a marital relationship is by using the divorce door and getting married to another person. When there is another misunderstanding, the next line of thought would be divorce again, what kind of life is that!!!!

Marriage is supposed to be a sacred union between a MAN and a WOMAN for life, not a man and several women or a woman and several men. In the beginning at creation, God created a man, then He created a woman to keep the man company. If it was appropriate, God would have created another man after Adam instead of Eve to be Adam's wife but He didn't (I'm already going into homosexuality/gay marriage, that's a topic for another day). Back to the matter, God would have like wise created Eve and Evelyn so that when Eve offends Adam, Adam can ditch or divorce Eve and remarry Evelyn, but NO, God didn't do that because divorce was not in his plan for us.

The Holy Bible puts it this way, "therefore shall a man LEAVE his mother and father and shall CLEAVE unto his wife, and they shall be ONE FLESH. Genesis 2:24". In the new testament, Jesus Christ repeated it for emphasis "...... Have you not read that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, for this cause shall a man LEAVE father and mother, and shall CLEAVE to his wife; and they twain shall be ONE FLESH? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder. Matthew 19:4-6".
In these passages, there are 3 key words "leave", "cleave" and "one flesh". First, the man and woman would leave bachelorhood, spinsterhood and family behind, next they would cleave to each other. To cleave means to cling, to hold very tightly, to adhere or stick fast to something or someone. Lastly, both of them are now one flesh, they are no more two individuals but one flesh. In a godly marriage, God is the glue that joins the man and woman. It's only in marriage that 1+1=1.
1 man + 1 woman = 1 flesh.
They are permanently glued for life, what God has joined together, no body or law or legal right or situation has the effrontery to put asunder. It saddens my heart when I hear the reasons why some couples divorce, no excuse is justifiable for divorce. Whatever the issue or problem is, it can be resolved if you put away your pride and ego and allow God heal up your wounds.

Major causes of divorce
1. Immaturity: Marriage is supposed to be between a man and a woman not a boy and a girl. I'm not against early marriage but why should teenagers be allowed to get married? What do they know, how many teenagers know their left from their right. I know maturity is not determined by age because there are some adults that are very immature, but still a teenager has little or no real life experience and exposure. In marriage, they would leave their parents or guardians, they would be on their own. When there is a quarrel or disagreement between them, they don't have the wisdom to handle it properly so the easiest way out is divorce. Apart from age, marriage is for mature minds, it's not a game of trial and error, before you say 'I do', make sure you are really ready 'to do'.

2. Premarital sex: This cannot be over emphasised, having sex before marriage is deadly. Sex results in a bond between the two individuals. When you have sex with one person or more before marriage, your heart is already knit with theirs. When you eventually get married, their is a partial bond with your spouse. When having sex with him or her your mind would be wondering to your past experiences and you would start comparing and contrasting. My dear that is the beginning of problems. If he doesn't satisfy you the way the other guy did, you'd be tempted to cheat on him, you'd start looking elsewhere for satisfaction. On the other side, if both are virgins before marriage, you don't really know what to expect, you'd enjoy whatever happens innocently and there won't be any desire to look elsewhere for satisfaction because you are satisfied with what you have. This doesn't mean that you have to be a virgin to have a successful marriage cause some divorcees married as virgins and some couples that weren't virgins when they got married have awesome and successful marriage and families. Every thing boils down to the God factor, this leads me to my next point.

3. Exempting God: As I said earlier, God is the glue that binds the man and woman together in marriage. This is where most people are going wrong, they take marriage as a mutual agreement, 'just' a relationship between 2 people. I'm sorry but marriage is not just a relationship, it is ordained by God, it's a sacred union. When you take away the glue which is God, nothing else can hold your marriage permanently in place. All other things like beauty, influence, money, etc might hold it temporarily but all these are vanity and like King Solomon said all that will fade and vanish away. Make God the glue that binds you and your spouse together. If God is the glue in your marriage, nothing, I repeat NOTHING (NADA) can dissolve your marriage, not even the devil.
