Divorce: An Illustration
Adult A and Adult B meet and fall in love. Adult A and Adult B get married, commiting to join their lives together forever . They are one. From the union of Adult A and Adult B, Child C and Child D are born. Adult A, Adult B, Child C, and Child D are a family. Adult A decides he or she no longer wants to be married. Maybe Child C and Child D are older now, considered adults themselves in some situations. It doesn't make divorce any better or any less wrong. The result is a ripped family that can never be repaired. Divorce is a permanent, selfish solution to a temporary problem. Divorce is a decision independent from God. Divorce is an individual choice that affects the group. "'I hate divorce,' says the Lord." (Malachi 2:16) Ditto from A Very Lucky Girl.
