God wanted no divorce and it was that way in the beginning.

Also, when one has already committed adultery, of course that is a cause for divorce. Think of the one couple in the New Testament who was to divorce. Who was it? Joseph was going to divorce Mary when he found she was with child. But they weren't married yet! They were only betrothed. And he would have followed what Jesus Himself said by divorcing. For all we know, this concept of divorce was not for those fully married, as those women found out on their wedding night to not be a virgin were allowed to be put to death, as per Lev. 20.

Read Mark 10, Luke 16, 1 Cor. 7 for further insights.

I didn't say God was fond of divorce.

I just gave the Scripture reference for what Jesus Himself said about it. Mrs. Haggard does have Scriptural grounds to leave her husband if she chooses. That's the only point I was making.

Marriage is a very solemn and sacred joining of two people (man and woman). This is a sad situation for the Haggard family, and my heart goes out to them.
