Divorce is one of the most difficult situations people can find themselves in. From personal pain and loss to scrutiny and abandonment from the world outside – nobody willingly chooses divorce as a solution. In fact, most of the time, it is the only solution left, even when kept as an absolute last option.

It is quite unfortunate and saddening to see how rampant divorce has become within our society. It almost feels like a generational thing, given how the divorce rate has risen over the past few years as the new generation reaches the age to consolidate a relationship. Naturally, nobody plans for a divorce but sometimes is left with no choice.

However, while staying in an unhappy marriage and an unhealthy situation is not the answer – trying to work things out can allow you a much-needed opportunity to start things over. And what better way to do it than analyzing divorce from a biblical perspective. After all, God hates divorce. So there is bound to be positive reinforcement enabling a solution against it.
