As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
“At last week’s annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society, Grudem gave a talk titled ‘Grounds for Divorce: Why I Now Believe There Are More Than Two.’ In it, he cited biblical exegesis plus real-life examples for his revised position.” - Church Leaders
“Indeed, divorce doesn’t just lead to father absence but to mother absence as well. Not in quite the same way—most children of divorce live with their mothers. But those mothers aren’t home. They’re at work.” - Suzanne Venker

Divorce is a difficult topic to address on both theological and practical levels. Even when this topic is carefully studied by the best of Christian scholars, conclusions on the topic and their practical applications can yield a spectrum of beliefs and practices. When discussing divorce, charity is essential.

Divorce rates are down, but… “Many poor and less educated Americans are opting not to get married at all. They’re living together [and] often raising kids together [but] studies have shown these cohabiting relationships are less stable than they used to be.” - Center for Vision & Values
Divorce is a hot button issue among Christians today. It seems to have been a pressing issue in Christ’s day as well.

Others consider divorce an unfortunate, but unavoidable fact of life that should cause no undue concern for the people of God.
