Why Do Christians Get Divorced And Remarry So Often?

Jesus did not say that he said that fraud was a valid reason to divorce your wife since if she was not a virgin when you married her you entered the covenant under fraudulent terms and the marriage is not binding. Jesus would not say that you can divorce you wife for a sin that required capital punishment.

Many people that claim to be Christian don’t actually take the time to read the Bible. Even if they did they probably wouldn’t care what it said. In my case, I believe that divorce is only for adultery as you already said and that it is immoral to remarry unless the individual dies. I explained this to my wife and we both agree. Looking at marriage this way can strengthen a husband and wife relationship as well. If you know that the person you marry will be the only person you can be with then you’ll think long and hard before jumping into a risky relationship and you will want to keep the marriage strong.
Most Christians I know don’t really care what the Bible says. They have preconceived notions of what they want to be right and if the Bible doesn’t agree they just throw that part out. However, the Bible also says not to add or take away anything from the Scriptures. People that twist the words to their own beliefs are directly disobeying God’s Word. For this reason I’m not sure if they are truly Christians or not.

If a couple are Christian, both of them and they are equally yoked then there should be no reason to divorce. In circumstances like abuse, infidelity, drugs, alcohol, the church will make exceptions. Which means the couple is not equally yoked.
It doesn’t mean anything sinister but sometimes it is for the best for the children and for the man or woman when there is so resolution. It doesn’t make a person not a Christian but we as Christians are not to judge others. It is not our place.

It is because preachers are afraid to speak out boldly and proclaim the teachings of the Word of God on the subject. With so many divorcees who have remarried in their congregations, they are afraid of emptying their churches. Some take a pragmatic view and decide that it is better to encourage people to marry after divorce if the alternative is living in fornication and causing a scandal. There are various topics which preachers avoid or skate around for fear of giving offence — but the cross is an offence and the message of the Gospel has always been one of repentance in order to be able to gain salvation. http://www.indywatchman.com/2009/09/04/t…
While the emphasis is placed on the sweetness and joy of the Christian faith while ignoring sin, the Church will continue in error. But this is the time which Paul foretold in his letter to Timothy. http://bible.cc/2_timothy/4-3.htm

And,
You can get divorced,
You cant get remarried unless the person you divorced is dead.
Very clear in the bible, very clear.
If somone does remarry then they are in a perpetual state of adultery. And no adulterer will see the kingdom of god.

As a Catholic, I believe marriage is for life, so take your sweet time getting to the Church on time, and be prepared to stay. Most divorces come from misinterpretation of character going in. Have a lot of dates, keep your clothes on, and get to know your future mate. If it fails despite, do what you like, but please don’t think any future marriage serves anything other than a civil purpose. Wow. How naive I sound, eh?

When you read the Bible besides adultery if your spouse was a non Christian or acting that way and they divorce you then you are to let them go. Being divorced I have asked God if He has another in mind for me that He put her on my heart. Until of if He ever does I will remain single.

Because they only pick and choose which verses to follow. They can get divorced, but they won’t let people who love the same gender marry, saying it goes against God’s word.
They eat pork, shellfish, wear clothes that are of mixed fibers, don’t stone disobedient children….see where I’m getting at? It’s hypocrisy.

Good question.
I have been married more than once, they were christians and both cheated. Here’s me, the atheist deemed as having no morals for being a non believer, yet I’m the one taken for the ride.
I’m still a believer in love though, just won’t make the mistake of ever marrying again, and not to a christian either..lol
PS: They took my money, no big pay offs for this sap…Hahaha

Because human beings are sinners, which is why Jesus had to make the ultimate sacrifice for us. God knew we could never be sinless. There are Christian murderers and rapists too. And, not only do Christians divorce and remarry so much. I don’t care what you are, I wouldn’t want you to stay married to a drunken, drug addict that beats you to a bloody pulp just because he or she were Christian…….and, neither would God.

Simple!! Christians are vastly over represented in the divorce courts not because of adultery but because they put religion before love and see it as far more important than worrying about all the pain and suffering that causes to their partners and children!!

Erik M is correct! Christianity is a religion that is run by mixtures of Christ’s doctrines and the doctrines of men and demons! Christian was a name given to believers by a pagan king! Not by God. He calls us sons of God!

Christians love criticizing and passing judgment on other people, but generally don’t practice what they preach. They are complete hypocrites and most of them make me feel sick.

Obviously christians don’t actually give a crap about christianity if it gets in the way of their selfish intentions.

Because most Christians are Christians in name only.

do as i say not as i do..mentality

because the wives catch the husbands with altar boys

no more than any others…
muy older sister, who has given up christianity for unitarian spirituality, has been divorced twice, the first hubby was a jew the second an athiest. my other siste who is barely a christian, is still married but her hubby has been divorced and he is an thiest. my father who is a practicing christian is widowed and it doesn’t look like he is going to remarry. the rest of my extended family is christain and those who are married are still on their first. frankly, i couldn’t care less as i am an athiest as well, but repect marriage too much to participate in it.
