It takes two to get married but it only takes one to get a divorce.

If you mean "No-Fault" divorce, you are correct. One of the worst ideas ever. And if you mean one partner just ruining things with selfishness, you are correct about that, too.

Yes especially no fault divorce and especially if kids are involved.

If a judge is so powerful that he can undo something that was done in the name of God why can`t he spend a little time with it instead of making it just a matter of paper work?

But the main idea as far as Christians are concerned is to follow the teachings of Christ, Jesus said to forgive, not seven times but seventy times that.

And he also teaches against selfishness but I believe we can go too far using the excuse of one person running every thing because that is nothing but a matter of pride.

In many cases it is the person that resents some one else running it that has a pride problem rather than the person running it.

1 John 2:16

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Proverbs 16
18
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

19
Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

It is understandable that some one who has never heard the gospel of Christ would not know, but what about Christians who listen to sermons week after week month after month year after year, why don`t they know this?

Could it be because the preachers are too busy preaching religion and Church or preaching what they perceive as sin, like using tobacco?

Or maybe it is because many are Christian in name only and could not care less what the scriptures say.

At any rate if the gospel was preached more it would weed out a bunch.

Preaching hell does not affect people too much because the make believers do not believe in it or are confident that it is for every one else but them.

Preaching what Jesus said about forgiveness should weed them out because pride is a deadly thing.

Ok, just my thoughts.

While that may be true, it is very, very hard for a man if his wife runs everything, including bossing his mother, father and siblings, as well as gelding her husband and children, using access to the children as her leverage. She needs to allow her husband his proper position as the spiritual leader of the home.

Likewise, there is little worse for a good wife than a man who will not take up his responsibility to make decisions wisely and be fully engaged in sorting out life's steps with his partner. Even a man with a passive disposition will be supported by a tactful wife in learning how to discern, decide and lead.

I agree that marriage should be taught in the churches. I believe Luther made an error in removing marriage from the list of sacraments. It is wrong for pastors to marry couples without making a months-long determination if they are truly well suited and mature in their engagement. But you are correct; there are many falling away in these days. Few in the pulpits and even fewer in the pews are actually born again and willing to hear the Word, grow in faith, share the gospel and live the Word in their daily challenges.

I like to read the British online newspaper DailyMail. They frequently run stories about the Duggar family. It is saddening to read the scorn and even vitriol that many of the fallen-away Brits and U.S. readers heap on that family, who are joyfully devoting their lives to chastity, faith, family and clean living, with 19 very sweet children and several grandchildren to show for it -- and not a cent of welfare.

“Sometimes it’s just not worth it.”

To obey God?

I am not familiar with this but I have saw it in other situations and it should not be.

True in both cases.

So if the guy is beating his wife, she should stay in hopes he’ll turn it around?

Is that what you think God has told us?

Start today. Begin with yourself, and your relationship to your Savior. Tell Him all your concerns. Be faithful in listening for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Even if it takes a longer time than you expected, He will lead your steps if you let Him.

I think it is good to remember that God is infinitely loving and just. It is perhaps equally important to remember that, as William L. Brown wrote, “The attempt to make God just in the eyes of sinful men will always lead to error.”

It is my understanding that a woman is allowed to separate from a husband who beats her.
