DIVORCE THAT HONORS MARRIAGE

When Breaking a Broken Union
Pleases the Lord

Divorce alone is heartbreaking enough. But it is tragically worse when guilt feelings plague the life of an innocent victim during or after marital breakup.By thinking that every marital breakup is unbiblical and offends God, count­less divorcées needlessly suffer over a breakup that is no fault of their own. However, they no longer should suffer anguish, in silence or shame.

Divorce That Honors Marriage is a biblical study offering spiritual release and courage to guilt-ridden innocent victims of a past or potential breakup.

In practice, many so-called “marriages” warrant a couple’s breakup, since a “. . . justified divorce is good for a bad ‘marriage’.” Ending such broken unions pleases the Lord, and also makes good spiritual sense. This Scripture study provides guidance for divorcées, those contemplating a break­up, and counselors of either spouse in a troubled relationship.
