The prohibition of divorce comes directly from Christ Himself. The Church can only abide by the rules of its Founder.
That maybe so, but I refused to stay married to a man who would beat a 3 year old for stupid reasons, or pick up a 6 week old to spank him because he had colic.
I spanked both of them many times when the offense was serious enough to call for it. But always with a open hand to the backside. Not a punch or a blow to the head, which their ‘father’ would have done if I had not left him.
