In the majority of cases though (where prenups aren't involved), the testimony of the spouse that the divorce is being sought due to "irreconcilable differences" is sufficient for a judge to grant the petition for dissolution of marriage. (In most parts of U.S. and Canada I believe )
No spiritual law exists that “demands you stay in your loveless marriage.” But what did Jesus Christ say about marriage, divorce, and remarriage?
The Lord said this: “And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality [i.e., fornication], and marries another, commits adultery” (Matt. 19:9, ESV)
Bottom line..... does one recognize scriptural authority or not ?
1 Corinthians 7:10-28
New International Version (NIV)
10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11 but if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
