Understanding Gods Marriage Laws Separation Think back upon the day you married. You looked deep within your bride/grooms eyes with a love to be cherished, then vowed to God that until death do you part, that you would remain in the bond of marriage, regardless of the circumstances. You promised that to God, and you believed what you said at the time when you said it. It seemed so simple. So much love was streaming from your heart, that you just knew nothing could separate that binding convenant.But there are tribulations in the world, and since satan attacks love more than any other thing, (especially if youre a Christian) your marriage will or went into turmoil and that promise you made to God was broken. As was said before,yesterday God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16) and never intends for a couple to separate once they are married. Because separation, whether it is legal or physical, involves the division of a married couple, it displeases and hurts God. First Corinthians 7:10-11 says, A wife must not leave her husband. But if she does leave him, let her remain single or else go back to him. And the husband must not leave his wife or push her away.Marriage vows should not be taken lightly, and separation should never be done casually or out of anger, because youll drift farther apart until you eventually divorce. This is not in Gods perfect plan for marriage, even if it has become acceptable in the world. Live joyfully with the wife/husband whom you love all the days of your life which He has given you under the sun--all the days of futility. For that is your portion in this life and in your work at which you toil under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 9:9).Now since you know how God feels about marriage, will give you a greater understanding on why He heals broken marriages, regardless of the circumstances. There is not a marriage He will not heal...no marriage He cannot restore. Couples you will have misunderstandings, you will have arguments, you mau even separate but if you do separate use that time to really hear from God, get deeper in the word, pray more seek council and make your goal to renew your marriage and go back home better stronger! Amen
