“Has not the LORD made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourself in your spirit and do not break faith with the wife of your youth. ‘I hate divorce,’ says the LORD God of Israel, ‘and I hate a man’s covering himself with violence as well as with his garment,’ says the LORD Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith.” _ Malachi 2:15-16.

“All scriptures is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. So that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” _ 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

Babe, in my opinion, I see divorce to be a very selfish step to take.

Aside God saying that He hates divorce in the book of Malachi 2:16, I think divorce is a treacherous way to deal with a marriage situation.

I mean, we aren’t perfect (Matthew 5:48), yet when we wrong God, He doesn’t kill us immediately, rather, He waits in love for us to come and apologize. Even if we don’t find the wisdom to come and apologize and still go about our lives as if He, God doesn’t matter, he still doesn’t kill us. It is the devil who kills. God is full of love to kill his own people.

His people perish for their own wrong deeds. God doesn’t ‘kill’ them to ‘punish’ them or whatsoever.

Yes, His Spirit may not dwell with you, and you may be dead [Genesis 2:17] (spiritually like Adam and Eve), yet should you be remorseful, apologize and repent, He is faithful and just and will forgive you, and purify you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9, Psalm 23:3).

Divorce as trivial as it may look has serious and dangerous repercussions that if care is not taken its effects may be beyond ‘repaires’.

People divorce with the excuse that they have fallen out of love, or have irreconcilable differences. I tell you, if God can forgive your spouse for whatever he has done should he confess it to God, then you have no excuse to hold a grudge because God’s Spirit is in you; The HOLY Spirit (Matthew 6:12, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

Obviously, when wronged in marriage, you would get hurt, feel betrayed, feel insulted, etc., but do not divorce. [“…weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.” _ Psalm 30:5].

Let your spouse know that he/she has hurt you. Forgive him/her, and go to God asking Him to give you the strength and grace needed to endure and sail through this storm of a situation (Isaiah 43:2).

Babe, divorce goes far beyond our interests of being separated and going our own ways.

Divorce would worry our kids gravely.

It is said that a child’s world starts at home: how he/she sees the world is dependent on how his/her home is.

So, should we divorce, we would have crushed his world (his model). He is likely not to believe in anything good (like unconditional love, eternal peace, joy, happiness, etc), because his own parents (us) who gave birth to him couldn’t do good to stay together and love him; we rather tore him apart for our own personal interests (staying apart), and are now trying to seek his approval and love by buying him things [which he may not even like or want]. He would become defensive emotionally; trying to protect his heart which we have broken. Loving others may even become difficult for him if God doesn’t step in.

Divorce is grievous.  Babe, would you please let us stay together?

When the going gets tough, would you please let us seek help from the greater one, The Most High God? Would we please pray, confessing our sins and weaknesses, so that He would fill us with His strength and love for our hearts?

Prayer heals and repairs all things.

Know that the devil is also going around seeking whom to devour. Please, let’s not allow him get our kid by using our own hands (getting divorced).

God hates divorce, and as His lovely children, I don’t think we would want to serve God with something He doesn’t like (John 14:15).

I love you babe. Let our love be perfect, to cast away all of our fears.

May our actions in marriage be out of the root of love not the pit of fear.

I love you babe, and I would like to see our marriage reach its pension (60 years of marriage). It is possible my love, because I love you.

It is possible because God is immortal.

It is possible because God got us.

It is possible because God is love.

It is possible because every good and perfect gift comes from above, God [James 1:17].

It is possible because I know you got your head, Christ, intact.

I love you babe. Stay Blessed.  

“Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.” _ Philippians 2:12-13.
