Every Christian marriage should exemplify to the world the extraordinary relationship between Christ and the church. In marriage the bride is given a life long commitment by her husband. In a similar and more perfect way, Christ has promised that He will “never leave us nor forsake us” (Hebrews 13:5).
God says in Genesis 2:24 that a man “…shall cleave unto his wife.” The etymology of the word “cleave” means “to glue, to adhere, to stick together.” Do you know for how long? Modern marriages have formed a saying, “As long as we both shall love.” Do you know what God says? “As long as you both shall live.” Marriage is the only permanent human relationship that God has ever established.
God’s plan and design is that one man and one woman should commit themselves to a relationship that is binding until the death of one of the partners (Romans 7:2). Divorce is never an option for a committed, spirit-filled Christian who is seeking God’s will for his life. God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16).
If our Christian marriages are to be a representation to the world of the relationship between Christ and the Church, then we need to put the word “divorce” out of our vocabulary.

So many people today – even some Christians – think that divorce is the only solution to their problems. But everybody has problems. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 7:28 that those who marry “…shall have trouble in the flesh.” Just because you have problems, don’t walk away from your marriage. Take the time and energy necessary to resolve those problems Biblically. Those same problems are God’s way of showing you areas in your own life that need to change. They are also the means by which the Lord gives you the opportunities to learn the Christ-like qualities of meekness, humility and forgiveness.
We need to confess our own selfishness and pride, and we need to constantly reaffirm to our partner, our lifelong commitment and love.
